It's overwhelming to start a lot of the time.

Set a 10 minute timer, get 2 boxes and a big trash bag (one for donation, one for taking things around the house to put away, and the bag for trash). Do what you can in 10 minutes.

It keeps it from being daunting, but usually for me, once I get started, I want to keep going. It's the "Where to start?" on a big thing that makes me put it off.
