What are your most compelling reasons to reduce clutter and/or to get organized? These may include your personal goals, work objectives, plans, fears, physical limitations, lifestyle choices, family history, etc.Remove house full of unwanted clutter inherited from parents.

Simplify my own belongings for easier home management.
What external factors drive or support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative signals from outside yourself that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: pressure from your spouse, stuff inherited from elder family members, a need to work from home, etc.)I dislike the feeling of clutter and having to paw through things to find a specific item.

My parent's clutter holds both good and bad memories for me, mostly bad, that I don't want to have in my life.
What internal factors support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative thoughts or feelings that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: the urge to start a new hobby, feelings of guilt or shame, a desire to share your surplus with people who need it, etc.)My parents were Great Depression babies and were trained to save everything because you or someone else might need it some day. I fight this while decluttering and solve the problem with 'time will tell' boxes in the garage. Anything that fights back and gives me a hard time about removing it from my house, goes into a box and dated. The box goes to donation center after 6 months of non use.
What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)?More space in the house for more houseplants!

Empty bedrooms I can rent in the future.
