Yeah, this it's how I go about cleaning out my living space every year and the 'logic', if you will, that I use to determine what to keep and what to get rid of.

Is is necessary? Do I hold sentimental attachment/positive feelings towards it?

If the answer is no in both cases then I've been donating/throwing them out, and it's really been helping cleaning up so much of my clutter. (I'm not even close to the level that hoarders are, but I do hold onto things that I literally don't use or have any feelings towards. I need little gentle kicks up the butt to actually de-clutter my space so that I don't end up as someone with a towering pile of clothes I never wear).

I'm still going to be that lady with a shit-ton of books, but those give me pleasure to own and have on my shelves, I care about them, hence they'll stay(but neatly ordered and not in stacks on the floor like they were). And de-cluttering my knick-knacks and clothes has helped to free up that space.

Yup. I tend to hold on to a lot of things for sentimental reasons, but even those things i make myself deal with every few years; i only need so many pretty plates that were wedding gifts to my grandmother if i *never use them* (too pretty!!)

Books, though, yeah - i've got a ton, 99 percent of them are never gonna go away. I have zero issues getting rid of clothes, though i hate shopping, too, so i can't get *too* crazy, or i won't have anything at all, heh.

This is how I've been doing it too. If I haven't worn/used/touched/looked at it in the past year and it isn't something I have a need for (like fancy clothes - I almost never wear them but everyone needs some fancy clothes for special occasions) or have a personal attachment to, then out it goes. It's a good way to keep stuff from accumulating, because the longer you tell yourself "well, maybe I'll use it someday," the harder it then becomes to get rid of it.

I don't have too much junk but I'd like to have even less. But I keep thinking "Well I'd have to take those florescent bulbs to a special place, and I can't just throw that old laptop in the dumpster, so I'd have to take it to a different special place" and my brain gets derailed and I don't go through the drawer after all.
