Hi all! Just found this thread. I'm a messy one too- though thru years of reading how to improve and Flylady I can keep it kind, sorta... well not as bad as it could be. Here is my confession. We have 3 bedrooms and only use 2 to sleep in cuz the third one is full of the things I put in bins and carry in there where it waits for SOME DAY when I'll feel like sorting it, selling it or giving it away. For a while I was flinging stuff weekly. I'd take stuff to Once Upon a Child and whatever they didn't buy, I'd travel on to donate at Goodwill, but I was spending a lot of time getting stuff in sellable condition and it took too much time for the amount of money/credit I was receiving, so I started selling stuff online. Same deal, plus add in all the time photographing, describing items etc. It's like a full time job with not enough benefits IMO. Anyway, I am stuck with boxes of sellable stuff in my attic. I really want to get rid of it. Yard sale days are too far away for me to want to wait, plus I always have to take stuff to my MIL's to sell since I live on a highway with no safe place for a sale. What do you say to yourselves in order to release things? I remember flylady saying release stuff and let it bless others, but that doesn't get to me. Anyone? I am drowning in stuff here and I'm not even bringing up all the STUFF my elderly grandparents have lovingly given me thru the years. I feel like a museum curator there! HELP!
LOL I had typed a different word for "things" and it was automatically deleted. I never knew that would happen.
