If you've been participating in the 20/20 Home Cure or you're doing a similar decluttering/organizing/cleaning project on your own, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed. At times like these, Zen Habits is one of the sites I like to check. It's a minimal page with very few photos and mostly text, where you'll find pressure-free advice like "the best goal is no goal."

They've also posted quite a few articles on decluttering, living simply, and becoming a minimalist. Many of these apply directly to the home and have Zen-like strategies similar to those you'll find in the Cure. They can be a little formulaic at times but, hey, so can I! Here are links to 10 articles for anyone struggling (like me) with the quest to break free from all-consuming materialism:
