Lots of paperbacks that are cluttering up books shelves. We are going through all our books over the next two weeks to see what to keep and what to get rid of. Some will go in a yard sale this spring (along with a pile of other stuff) and the rest will end up at Goodwill. Neither one of us like to accumulate stuff and we are not hoarders but we still find stuff to get rid of every year or so. This stuff just grows.

Alright, so I'm a total pack rat but let's give this a try. So today I am getting rid of all my old pc magazines. I have been saving them because I just can't bring myself to throw them out so I make excuses. So today their gone and my girlfriend and my shelves thank me I'm sure.

I've been getting rid of so much stuff. Donating, trashing, too much stuff. getting rid of the cookies and sugar I keep bringing back into the house. Every time I go through anything emotional I turn to sugar. I'd like to get rid of what keeps making me do this. Getting rid of heartache I've been carrying too long. Today things change.

Today I am proud to report that I got rid of an old toilet that I have been keeping in my garage for six years. I am also proud to report that I ended up using it for exactly what I kept it for - to replace a damaged toilet in my rental home. Oh sorry ... that kind of supports keeping it for as long as I did doesn't it?
Well, I am actually not much of a pack rat. I was married to a pack rat for twenty-five years, though. Since his death, it is a lot harder to get rid of stuff he hoarded than it would have been while he was alive. Now it has become kind of dear to me, so I rationalize keeping it. I have made a lot of progress though. Last fall I took two whole van loads to Goodwill. They "won" the donations because they have a drive-through delivery system and they actually unload all the stuff out of the car for you. Yah Goodwill!!! Words this is a great thread, and I hope I will have lots of things to come and brag about giving away. Smooches, Keri |

I like this thread. It's a different perspective on the hoarder discussion. I watch those shows on late night TV and see things that people are keeping that are also in my house. Skeery.
Things I have trouble letting go: -books, especially "good" books -legal or important papers that I might need some day -plastic containers for storing food -extra buttons that come with clothing -random electronics cords which might go with something important -jewelry that I don't like That's just a short list. Of all the things, the papers are most intrusive in our lives. There's too much paper lying around, cluttering tabletops and piled here and there. It remains somewhat manageable mainly because my partner couldn't stand for it to get worse. If she weren't around, I believe it would be much worse. So...today I will spend just ten minutes going through the papers in the dining room, filling a bag with mail and papers to throw away or recycle. I will also post the buttons to freecycle. Someone will love them for crafts or sewing, neither of which are things I do.

I make a pledge to get rid of
a pile of canvases that I have painted on, hate the paintings, or never completed them, but can't bare to paint over them. But I don't care if someone else does - just don't tell me about it. (I take my art waaaaay toooooo seriously - not sure what to do about that).
Honestly, over 1/2 of my possessions are art or music supplies. But that still does not mean that I need them all. And it certainly does not mean that if I get rid of something today, if I need it tomorrow, I won't be able to replace it. The universe is ever overflowing.

Being a big old OCD sufferer of the non-hoarding variety I am constantly seeking symmetry and order. It is hard with a 7 year old though. There is clutter everywhere and some days I can't take it. I tend to get a bit too rowdy with the purging.
The less stuff I have the lighter and more free I feel. I have to be careful though because sometimes I can purge too much. Great thread!!! |

I used to hang on to magazines for the sake of one or two articles, so what I did was to cut out the articles I wanted to keep, file them, (individual nylon pockets in an A4 folder - makes them easy to find), then either use what was left for 'padding' for my eBay items or else stick it all in the recycle bin. So okay, these were 'women's magazines', most of which were full of advertising anyway, but it worked really well, especially as I no longer had to go through entire magazines looking for a particular article and instead, could simply look it up in my folder (my patience thanks me). Anyway, well done on getting rid of those mags.

I did this yesterday but just now seeing the thread.
I got rid of three shirts that no longer fit. I gave away 50 more books. FIFTY! I feel faint. I will be boxing up some more tonight. The list will grow as I continue the move process. Oh joy unbounded!
