This tip is from Stephanie Roberts:

Getting rid of clutter is not the same as just catching up
on housework. Friends and family may not understand how
difficult it can be when there are emotional issues and
patterns underlying it all, and may wonder why you aren't
making faster progress.

And they are just as likely to be concerned that you might
be moving too fast and getting rid of too much - especially
if they have clutter issues themselves.

Don't let anyone else's expectations or standards distract
you from dealing with your clutter in whatever way works
for you. It's okay to go slowly if you need to, but it's
also okay to shovel stuff out by the dumpster-load if
that's what you are motivated to do.

The "right" way is the way that works best for you.
