Clutter

I have a clutter problem. Hard to admit as someone who thinks they're intelligent and capable with a track record of huge filing missions in work. But I have what has been called C.H.A.O.S. - Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome.
There are countless sites online with advice on clutter.....
Clutter.co.UK
ZenHabits.net
Home-storage-solutions-101.com
FlyLady.com
Etc etc etc......

They all tell you to declutter with a timer or in small stages or by category or by space.

I think one problem I have is that decluttering is not creative. Bunging stuff in boxes or bin bags is a subtraction and I find it really hard to see it as positive, constructive or as adding something to my home. I know I should see it as creating calm, cleanliness, clear space and so forth but just can't frame it that way. Do you know what I mean?
