Vicki, try this it works very well. Make three piles (so to speak.)
Pile #1 put albums, important papers etc. items you have to have...
Pile #2 put items you use "at least once" a month, no cheating.
Pile #3 anything you haven't looked at or used in over a month should be on a sale table.
Now this has to be done seasonally especially for clothes, summer and winter and of course some household things, pools or mowers or snow equipment....this is a proven method. [Wink]
