Rochelle says
Have been looking for a way to get rid of so much clutter. But hesitate cause I am sentimentally attached to quite a lot of what I need to get rid of. To begin with I have no clue on how and where to start and would appreciate any help I can get in this regard. Thank you.
Susan Ramsay says
Rochelle, Think of something you have gotten rid of in the past. You don’t miss it do you? For really sentimental things take a picture, and save that. You don’t have to do it all at once. Maybe set a monthly date. Like someone’s birthday you know. So for example, the 12th of every month you get ride of just a few things.
The old “one in 2 out” is good also. You can even cheat; one pair of slacks in, a suit out. Who cares? No one gets hurt and you still get rid of a suit. You will feel good about yourself. You can take December off. Do whatever gets you moving in the direction you want to go. Sometimes a friend can help. Start in the morning and treat him/her to lunch.
Jean Joneson says
Rochelle I myself have felt the same way. Then I thought about and when I leave this world my children will not care they will throw everything away. So eBay has been a great fit. Yes they have fees and at times we may not like the price but the item is gone. So it is a 50/50 fit. Good luck!
