@Smc keep up those small efforts on a regular/daily basis and it will happen. You have had the courage to take many small steps and sometimes larger ones with a bit more practice, you might find you can manage the larger steps regularly too.
As @Appleblossom said being in the right place where we have been willing/able to make a start makes all the difference.
@Determined this could be what is happening with you. If there are some items you have seen that have caught your attention as no longer being useful, perhaps even setting then aside in a box for Darling to check through when she gets home could be worthwhile.
I did not put any time pressures on myself early on, it would have likely been unproductive, perhaps because my resolve only extended to the one item per day but understand others find them useful. The one in/two out rule and then our house move did however accelerate the process.
