Absolutely........
One thing I haven't heard mentioned is turning off the inflow of new stuff. Cleaning out is 50% of the deal. The other half is not refilling the house.
TRULY..........I am trying to make this a new goal: little to no new stuff. I will enjoy the Christmas gifts; and treat myself to CD's of local music and tiny souvenirs when traveling (but they have to fit into my one carry-on suitcase). I will still keep some cards and letters.
But after 3 years of downsizing (to move from 3,000 sq. ft. to 1,700 sq. ft.), I never want to do it again. I refused to look at any condo with a basement. (It took 3 years to clear out the one I had.)
I'll shop now for gifts for others. I don't need anything.........except the freedom of living in a smaller space with less stuff.
(Plus, reduced shopping leaves more cash for travel.........which I hope to NOT limit!)
