posted by: chicalookate (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (9:43 am) I am getting ready to move in a couple months and I am getting rid of so much stuff. It feels really good. We are having a yard sale this weekend.... I have gotten rid of 25 boxes of books, 7 boxes of knick knacks and kitchen stuff. And much much more. Good luck. posted by: fotocali (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (9:44 am) I'm sure everyone is thinking the obvious answer: put the shoeboxes into the new storage containers. Then, in another couple years, rent a storage unit and put the containers into the storage unit. Then, a few years after that, buy one of those shipboard cargo containers, and .... posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (10:14 am) Reply to: fotocali That's avoidance behavior...hehehe...I figure it's best to deal with it now and establish habits that will prevent me from finding myself in this situation again...some of those storage places are a real rip-off. posted by: Janemma (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (10:15 am) www.organizedhome.com has some good articles on clearing paper clutter and getting a handle on paper generally :) posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (10:15 am) Reply to: chicalookate Good luck to you too. I'll have to move in September so I'm preparing myself way in advance. posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (11:16 am) Reply to: Janemma Thanks! :) posted by: kwurk (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (3:15 pm) you could try and turn all the paper back into a tree :~} posted by: Andaloo (reply) post date: 05.26.04 (11:24 pm) It's simple, stop buying shoes then you wouldn't have anywhere else to put the paper other than the storage boxes ;) What are skorts anyway? posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 05.27.04 (3:57 am) You knwo, I swore that when I had a home of my own I wouldn't have any ornaments.....You know what happened to that promise!

Basically, it's like wearing shorts under a skirt only sillier. |

Right at this exact moment, my living room looks like the site of a natural disaster. As Mal put it, Hurricane Nat has passed through. Yesterday, after the Fast One and I went furniture shopping we ended up at Bed Bath and Beyond and I picked up a few storage containers. When I tried to decide what to put in the storage containers I realized that I had way too much junk. I'm not a hoarder of precious little trinkets or antiques or porcelain statuettes or Toby Jugs or anything of value. I don't even collect junky-junk like string and paper clips. My problem is that I hold on to receipts, invoices, financial statements, utility bills, post it notes, to-do lists, coupons, airline vouchers, ticket stubs to the cinema, museums or concerts, 5 year old bus schedules, maps, articles, magazine clippings, etc. Basically, I hoard paper.
