How I did it: For most of the 2 years I procrastinated even attempting to clear out my storage shed: after all I had over 66 massive boxes of 'stuff!'

Last year I made a goal to clear my storage shed completely and stop wasting $100 a month of storage of crap.

While I haven't completely cleared all the unwanted possessions (thats another goal!) I have emptied the shed which means I have only a few boxes of stuff left.

Lessons & tips: The main thing I had issues with was the overwhelming sensation of being swamped under by everything. You need to just persevere and also be a little ruthless about what you're hoarding. I ended up selling a lot of my 'crap' for over $4000...$4000 which was sitting losing value.
