How I did it: I just finally did it. I got modivated one day and just sat down and got rid of stuff. I'm so much better organized now, and my room is so clean-smelling.

It was easy to throw away junk or trash. The hardest part for me was throwing away things I still liked and could use, but I never used them, like a miniskirt that was SO cute but I never wore. To get myself to put it in the "donate" pile, I thought of somene being really happy at this great bargan find, and of myself being really happy buying new clothes. =)

Lessons & tips: Instad of constantly getting up to put an object in another room, I made a pile of stuff that belonged somewhere else in the house.
I made another pile of stuff to donate or give away.
Insted of leaving things where they were if I wanted to keep them, I took everything I wanted to keep in my room out of the area I was working on (i.e. closet, desk, dresser) and re-organized after I had gotten rid of a bunch of stuff.
I had this huge trash bag for trash.
