deciding, what stays VS what gets chucked.....help!

[Kazbah]

I look at everything and ask the question "do i want to keep it". If its something that was given to me or I feel a pang of guilt about not keeping, then I take a photo of it, or donate it.

I agree with Liz, if you haven't used it, read it, or worn it in a year get rid of it. And you need to be brutal about it. If you have a lot of stuff you think you could sell have a garage sale or book a spot at a swapmeet and whatever is left donate. I think it is the only good part about moving, getting rid of excess junk

If in doubt, chuck it out.

Chuck it ALL OUT.
I pride myself on having only bare essentials.
Even if you chuck something out that you really don't think you should part with, you forget completely the next day. You won't even miss it.
