A good organizer is a hoarder. It's better to take a good at everything around, go category by category, and get rid of everything you don't need. Save nothing for those 'what if' scenarios that never come. Say goodbye to momentos that serve no purpose. If you feel joy when holding or looking at it, I would say that serves a purpose, but that's a fine line and easy to cross by putting everything in that category. Get together everything you're getting rid of and have a yard sale. Anything you don't sell, drop off what you can at a goodwill and throw the rest out.<p>You'll feel a huge weight lifted off your shoulders when done, a weight you didn't even know was there when you started.
