Often when you move you are forced to ask yourself the questions laid out in this article. Do i really need this? When was the last time i actually used this? If you aren't moving anytime soon, try renting a storage locker for a month. Lots of storage facilities offer storage for the first month for only $1 or even free. Put everything you possibly can live without in that locker for one month. Go back if you need to and take stuff out. Whatever is left there after the month is up, take it to goodwill, or your local donation dropoff location. Just my 2 cents :) One way that I have always found helpful to get rid of all those extra belongings one doesn’t need is moving.

You're correct when you say one closet at a time.Most of the time,we are overwhelmed by clutter that we don't know where to start cleaning.whew! I'm also a fan of collecting organizing tools and came across a multipurpose <a href="http://www.theoriginalfinger.com" rel="nofollow">memo pad holder</a>. I find it very useful and you might want to try it also:-) This is a great post!

I grew up a pack rat, so throwing away things was tough for me, since I never knew when I might, just might ... someday need it. I eventually realized that there's a cost to holding onto everything in terms of maintenance and storage space. I continuously downsize now and I actually like the process of getting rid of as much as I can. I'm no pharaoh, I don't have a pyramid, and I know I can't take stuff with me when I leave this world, so I travel light, and instead put a premium on people and experiences. That said, I stil can't give up my Smurf collection. Hey Tina –
