[quote=Anonymous]I think the first thing you need to do is to start small. Pick a room like maybe the bathroom and literally throw away as much as you can. Closets are small but packed and I think much more problematic than even an entire bedroom. The key is overcoming the thought that something you have saved has a potential and valuable future use. Paper and wood are the most common obsession with hoarders. There is no need or use for magazines and you should stop wasting money on subscriptions and purchases. If you look at the price on the back of the magazine and then imagine that as an actual dollar amount that gets looked at and tossed in the trash it may help you to stop buying them. There is also the rule of thumb that if you haven't used it for one year then it's excessive and expendable. [/quote]
