I actually have relatives that...I'm a pack rat. I actually have relatives that are classic hoarders, luckily I've been able to kick that for the most part. But as a collector and someone who does have a hard time throwing stuff out, or at least did, moving actually helped my compulsions to keep everything. I've been through so many moves now that I actually have an easier time throwing things out when I move. Having seen some photos, let's talk about books. I have about four shelves of books I absolutely can not get rid of. I did have another 10-20 shelves of books I didn't want to throw out or give to DI. But there's that cash4books place in Provo by the Dennys. They give you 5 cents for every book you bring in to recycle. Having that little insentive of making money and helping the enviroment, I ended up making 15 bucks. <br /><br />It might take a little while but go through your books, and stack them according to importance. Have like a 10 number system. 1s are way too important to leave your sight. 10s you recycle. But then you look at the 9s and you say, couldn't these be 10s? Work your way up. What about these 5s? Do I need them or would I be willing to wrap these all up and give away as fun presents to friends because I shouldn't have them but I want friends to have them. <br /><br />If you have any school papers still in your room, just throw them out. I know your brain is saying but... but... but... No. Stop it brain. If it's important it's on my computer. The paper ones are being thrown out. I know I did a cute picture on this one when I was 7, it doesn't matter. Must be thrown out.Thirdmangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144315741226432002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961015057941385281.post-45701150360397003942012-06-04T13:39:57.547-07:002012-06-04T13:39:57.547-07:00I always use a Mom in this situation. My Mom. Sh...I always use a Mom in this situation. My Mom. She is the best organizer and always clams me. I remember my happiest place ever, which was when I was little and would rest my head on her chest while she would read to me and I could feel her words come up through her. A Mom is always the best remedy.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983870212066394294noreply@blogger.com
