How to De-Clutter

Well, I agree with DP about how nice it feels. The 2 bookcases in my room look so nice, not cluttered and I too the opportunity to weed out some books and DVDs. Those books and DVDs that I did not give away, I listed on amazon for a lark, and much to my surprise, of the 16 items I put up there, 11 already sold! Sure beats the prices I'd get at Amoeba or a used book store. Of course, I priced them to sell, but that was the point, not to gouge, but to help them find a new home and not take a total loss on the original purchase. I'm looking at this as funding the dinner for Napa Rose, and so far, I've made enough I can treat the 3 of us to dinner, I think (excluding wine). Not a bad deal at all!

Thanks DP, I'm inspired to keep digging, de-cluttering and cleaning up my slopppy existance. It will be nice to see the boxes gone (I've been back a year and a half and, yes, there are still unpacked things in the closet). So, those will more than likely be on the toss out of here pile, since I can't remember what is in some of the boxes.

15 minutes a day should have me well cleaned and de-cluttered by Xmas day when the roomate returns!

It will be nice to see the apartment again, and have things (hopefully) so that I can paint the living room, which it sorely needs!
