Sometimes you just have to clean out your life. And cleaning out your stuff is a good way to start. I know several people who have no problems throwing things out. I want to know the secret. Cause it makes cleaning out and clearing out a nightmare. I end up with a bigger mess than when I started. If you know the secret, can you tell me....

I used to save everything. Got divorced, started new job, sold house all at once. I figured while moving if I have not used the item in over 2 years I was never going to........threw it all out. Was hard, but believe me, I am glad I did it.....lol............Good Luck

I wish I knew. Gov't investigators came by my house last month and said I qualify for Katrina Disaster Relief. And I live in Wisconsin! |

I don't know the secret but I am doing that now . I am moving from a big house to a 2 br apartment...and its across country so I am not hauling a bunch of junk....good luck

I'm a neat freak, but I like to keep things I know I will use!!
I'd say hide it!! |
|
|
|
My rule is if I have not used it in a year, get rid of it. If I have not worn it in two years, toss it (that keeps me from tossing the winter clothes..lol)

I hold on to sentimental things, but in a few boxes. Again your pic, is really nice!
|
|
|
|
that's my philosophy....if it hadn't gotten used or looked at in a year or two then it was time to go
|

It really depends on what you think you really want out of life and what memories things hold for you personaly.This is just my opinion though smile and have a good evening.

touch a item only once, first instinct go with it, it's the right one.
|
|
|
|
chances are if I haven't used it in a year I don't need it.

If yo have not touched it in 9 months...throw it away....that's also the advice I took when I divorced my ex

Throw it all out!
|
|
|
|
That's what I finally figured out. If I haven't seen it or used it in two years...then I don't need it. I give it all to charity.

I'm trying to get ready to move from a house back to an apartment. Had to change jobs cause of health and stress and now make way less and can't afford it anymore. It is a serious challenge. Seems like I spend more time moving stuff around than actually weeding anything out.

I have the same problem.
Love the new pic!!!! |

I have done this so many times. The best rule of thumb:
1. If you haven't used it for 2 years, throw it out! 2. Ask yourself why you want to keep the item and see if it makes sense. You have to be real honest and hard when you do this! 3. Would charity benefit more from the item than you will if it's sitting in your attic, drawer, closet, garage, etc for the next few years? |
