Sorting


So, I decided to tackle some "junk boxes" tonight, you know the ones that are so random and have just tons of this and tons of that. I wouldn't call myself a total pack rat, but I do manage to collect things over time. I am just unsure of how to get rid of things, what to hold on to etc.

Maybe you readers can give me some tips, how do you sort your lives out? What do you do with kind cards from people that are really old.....you can't truly keep them all can you?

Help Me!

I throw everything out / give things to value village. Get rid of it! It makes life so much easier.

Thanks aves, I kind of thought you might be good at that kind of thing......what about cards and kind things? are you just thankful for the thoughts, for the time and eventually toss?

Yeah, I read them appreciate them for a moment (sometimes keep them for a year), but always end up throwing them out.
I have 1 card that I've kept, and will probably keep my entire life because it's special. Just keep the things you think you'll still want when you're 70.

I have some of those "DVD" boxes and have one for My Family, Steve's family and our things from over the years. When a card comes, it goes in there when it's ready to be put away.

that's a good plan shann, i have just too much stuff, but if i could narrow it to a few labeled boxes that would surely help
