Another year has passed and I still have a lot of junk filling up my garage, storage unit, and shed. I did get rid of some things when I moved but as has been my habit, I also shoved a bunch of it in boxes and brought it along with me. At some point in the next year or two I will be moving in with my boyfriend and I would like to have everything sorted and purged by then. My plan is to spend at least four hours every week on this. 4 months ago

Well, I am moving in with a friend in a few weeks and I want to eliminate a lot of junk before I do. I am overwhelmed but the task because there are just so many boxes of random papers, etc. It is critical to my well-being and effectiveness to handle this because I spin my wheels trying to find things, etc. My mom has things from 30 years ago that she still needs to sort through and I refuse to continue the trend! I’ve been unorganized too long. It helps that I am moving into a smaller space so I have to make some tough decisions about my stuff. I need to focus on this and stop getting so distracted with fun things I can do instead which is what I typically do…like spending time with friends or on this site instead of sorting my closet. :D 16 months ago

Well, I got rid of a ton of stuff and I also kept a lot of stuff when I moved. I haven’t prioritized this but have sorted through a few boxes here and there which has whittled my problem down to a smaller scale. I am planning to move again in six months so my new goal is to have everything sorted and purged by then. I need to put a clear plan in place for sorting and filing new things that come into my space as well so I don’t perpetuate the problem – maybe institute a quarterly clean-out or something like that as well. 19 months ago
