What has worked for me is to set goals- if you try to conquer your whole house in one night, you'll lose hope. Start by room, or even smaller- section or bookshelf in the room. Come in with 2 boxes/bags- keep and purge. Reward yourself as you go. You got this!!!!

Where do I start?
Thank you! sounds like a good plan! 😊😊😊😊😊
I'm bibliophile...gotta have my books. some i can replace by a digital version, some i can't. I gotta love carrying 700 novels in a tablet form. my photos are also in my computer.... and backed up to a secondary site.
I took all my photos and had them put on a cd. Some places call it a legacy box, one price for everything you can fit in the box. I uploaded to my computer and use a digital photo frame.
I bought a large trunk from a thrift store for books and a smaller locker for pictures because I have so many. Don't want to dust them and I know I have them if I need to see them. Also, both of these serve as tables.
Thank you for the terrific idea😊
