It’s time to get organized, but you cannot bear to get rid of items. It can be tough to part with things, but if you feel suffocated by clutter, that is no way to live. It might seem like there’s no way to organize absolutely every item you own, but when you get creative, you’ll see that there truly is a place for everything. Here are a few tips to help you know what to get rid of, how to organize what you have left, and how you can make the most of your available storage space.
FIND A WAY TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE DISPOSAL
BE HONEST ABOUT THE CONDITION
USE THE ATTIC AND THE GARAGE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
EFFICIENTLY STORE ITEMS YOU USE REGULARLY
CREATE AND EMBRACE A SYSTEM

I'm admittedly a pack rat and a nester. I don't like being either. My biggest issue is the little nit picky things like ink pens that still write paper clips nails screws twist ties etc... They end up in every drawer bin and container possible . I seem to have an enormous amount off all of it. I try to have a place for it all but it keeps multiplying...
I hate to throw it but some days I want to empty my house completely and start all over.
