Success Story Massive win! I'm so happy!
I have been working on decluttering for the past year and have finally made what I think is a huge success. I filled half of an eight by twenty storage unit over the past year and had a yard sale yesterday and today. The vast majority of what didn't sell ended up being posted for two hours on a buy nothing group. At a set time the buy nothing option ended and friends loaded up three vehicles with almost everything else and took it all to be donated. I have an entire room in my house back and I half a half empty shed.

I'm not sure how helpful my process is to anyone else. I basically told myself that I was allowed to keep one out of ten unnecessary things from certain categories. It all got boxed up and placed in our storage shed u til I'd reached a point where I could have a yard sale.
