    Everything that is a momento from youth...put in a box(ONE small box..only what will fit int it can stay) and put it away on a shelf in your closet.

    Everything else...if you haevnt looked at it in a year(6 months for mags) throw it away
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    I'm a huge huge fan of FlyLady.
    The things that really help me:

    27-fling boogies: Put on some happy music, something upbeat. Grab a grocery bag. First run through, spend five minutes going around the house (use a timer) and picking up all the garbage you see and throwing it in the bag. When the timer goes off, take it outside to your trash can and get rid of it. Second time around, find stuff you don't love anymore and either toss it in a trash can or put it in the bag for Goodwill. Ask yourself: Do you love it? Does it make you happy? Do you have a place for it? If the answer to all three isn't yes, throw it or give it away. It may have the potential to make somebody else so very happy, so why not let it make them happy?

    Five minute room rescues: Like 27-fling boogies, but just focus on one room at a time. You can do it!

    15-minute cleaning sessions: Pull out the vacuum cleaner and set the timer for 15 minutes. Vacuum whatever needs vacuuming, and when the timer goes off, you're done. No, really. If you get to one of the rooms, you can start there tomorrow or next week. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to move all the furniture, you don't have to get it all done at once. You can do anything (anything! even cleaning the faucets with a toothbrush) for fifteen minutes. No matter how much you hate the job, you can do it for fifteen minutes, and then you're done.

    Then there's the Weekly Home Blessing Hour and Zone Cleaning. It all helps.


    Here's the big thing about FLYing (Finally Loving Yourself): you don't have to have the decluttering done to work on the cleaning part. One of my coworkers unsubscribed from the mailing list because she wasn't done decluttering yet. I've even ignored the cleaning missions for more than a year now because my place was a mess, so why bother? Well, duh! Clutter in a clean house is less to deal with and much more pleasant than a cluttered dirty house! It's definitely helping, but it's also definitely slow going.

    But like they say, your house didn't get messy in a day and it won't get clean in a day either!


    Sorry about the rambling, I'm on lots of meds for my sinus infection + cough virus nasitiness. I think I'm kind of all over the place, but I'm not sure what to do about it.

    Anyway, FlyLady = excellent. It's based off of SHEsInTouch (Sidetracked Home Executives -- me to a T), so they both may be helpful to you. Best of luck!

    I have company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously thought I was the only person that did things like keep magazines from a million years ago.

    Magazines - I've tried to improve my bad habits, but I'm not all the way cured. I started by sorting my magazines oldest-newest. Since I couldn't part ways all at once, I brought the oldest year to a recycling bin at a local church parking lot. It felt good. I worked my way up to keeping only the current year. (Except I keep all my Fitness mags just to flip through for ideas)

    Clothes - I have been hoarding clothes like there's no tomorrow! I've recently tried to reduce my clothing clutter. When I got to the point that they filled every nook and cranny in my walk-in closet, every dresser drawer I have INCLUDING my entire couch - constantly piled with clothes.....well, I got to that point and then realized that it was not normal to have that many clothes THAT I NEVER WEAR OR HAVE EVER WORN! I took an entire Sunday to separate clothes by "Garbage" and "Donate" and "Keep" It's a work in progress, but I've reduced my clothing stockpile by about 6 garbage bags.

    I still have a box of grammar school things. I have shoeboxes filled with every card ever given to me. (communion, confirmation, graduation, etc). I'm a huge pack-rat, but every year, I have been trying to part ways with more and more things. I know, I'm crazy. I just have some sort of addiction to STUFF.

    OMG CK thank you for starting this thread.... I do not accumulate stuff, specifically because I know I will never let it go!!! I am watching this thread like a hawk because I am moving at the end of the month and want to use it as an opportunity to clear away all the old crap I don't want. It's just gone from sitting in a box at one place to sitting in a box an another place!!! Good luck to you, and thank you everyone for your great suggestions... I will use them all when it comes time to go through my schtuuuuuff.

    I used to have the same problem. Now I just set aside a day every couple of months and go thru the entire house. I get rid of everything I don't need or really want. I think it saves me time in the long run, because there is less clothes to wash, less messes to clean up, etc.

    I always say, unless its really special to me, if I wouldn't notice that I lost it, I can give it away.

    freecycle.org - a great way to give away stuff that's too good to junk but too useless for your house.

    also (if you want stuff) it's a great place to get things you need free.

    they have YAHOO groups in most cities around the country
