[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm following this.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Life-Changing-Magic-Tidying-Decluttering/dp/1607747308

Last night I went through my primary clothes closet and got rid of at least 2/3s of it. [/quote]

+1 got rid of 16 bags of clothes, household goods in two days.  Read Peter Walsh, also good, however marie kondo's book really resonated and gave me the courage/confidence to thoroughly purge and let go of guilt Associated with decluttering things I no longer needed or found joy in.  Highly recommended, my new "bible".[/quote]

Pp here. I also should have mentioned the psychological impact of the book. I agree with pp, her philosophy is what allowed me to get rid of items without guilt. [/quote]

Another Konmari fan here. I didn't follow her instructions to the letter, but I did carefully consider each piece and the impact it had or has on my life. It really helped me to unload a lot of stuff I was holding onto because of guilt. I also realized I don't need a stuffed closet because I can rewear my favorites without the worry I won't be able to do a wash (a throwback to college days and first-apartment days). We recently did some home renovations that eliminated the space where we used to stuff/store things, and it has helped us to really come to terms with the reality that if we don't have room for it, we don't need it.

I found that for some items, it took two levels of consideration to discard or keep, and I was fine with that.[/quote]
