clean out the clutter

I know why the storage business has a larger gross than the movie industry! Fortunately I have a barn, but it is beginning to overflow. I’d like to sell some of the stuff but what is really needed is to just throw things away. But what if I need it later? What if someone else could use it? I can’t subscribe to our disposable ethic – the land fills are overflowing – but so is my barn! There just isn’t a place for everything, so there it sits – until I rearrange the clutter. If I could sort everything out then I could see if there are duplicates – there MUST be! Every time I get rid of a bag of stuff I feel so good – but like the brooms of the sorcerer’s apprentice – clutter seems to multiply. It doesn’t seem to be a matter of “just do it.” Advice welcome!
