Did you hear about that reported "missing" woman who was recently found buried (and dead) underneath all her hoarded junk? Get rid of it, People!

what is the standard in a pithy way, easy question such as if I don't use it for at least one year I do not need to own it....

there's a website that really helps to break the process down into manageable chunks. it's kinda cutesy, but if you don't mind that, the system really works! i've lived in the same house for 30 years, so i'm finding big surprises in the closets! www.FlyLady.net changed my life!

1) Post things to give away on Freecycle (find the local Yahoo! Group). That way the next time you need something too and request it on Freecycle you'll have some karma to get it. ;)

2) Have a clothing / stuff exchange party with friends if you have a lot to get rid of. You can get new stuff if you need any but it's a good way to get rid of clothes and have fun.

Give the leftovers to a charity.

Throw a YARD SALE by posting it for free on Craigslist in your city under "garage sale"

I joined two other friends` garage sale last weekend and went through my boxes and what I didn`t sell, I took to the Good Will. I figure I got paid to clean up my act!

Thanks for the great tips and comments. I love the idea of keeping yourself accountable or facing the consequence of having to tear up a dollar bill!

I have been very successful lately with freecycle.org and I'm a big fan of flylady.net! I recommend these sites! The more I get rid of things I don't need or are no longer useful, the better I feel! Sometimes things that were once very important or meaningful just aren't anymore. Time to get rid of them and make room for new things to come into my life!

Pick a day, say the second Sunday of every month, and commit to spending four hours clearing out your stuff. Be accountable by telling a friend your plan and if you don't do it -- tear up a dollar bill!

Had a local yardsale. Sat out in the sun all day, and drank my beverages, and talked to neighbor kids, and flew a kite, and made ... $505 CASH! SWEET!
