A new commitment - get rid of dated paper. The first stop was the desk and the dreaded task of sort, toss, file. How I hate that. The biggest pile is the 30+ years of poems I have written and the problem is that there are multiple copies of some and they are not in any order these days. Once they were. So I'm deciding - chuck 'em all and forget about them or load them onto the PC and save them to a CD then burn the paper. I'm REALLY leaning towards the first choice; who's going to want these when it is time to clean this house out? Not me! Let me lighten the load now!
Maybe I'll have a little celebration. Why not? It's momentous to clear the clutter, especially when what is being disposed of could be very telling. Lots of history resides between the lines if not right on them! I feel better about getting rid of them already. Be right back.
DONE. Voila'. No regrets. Clean slate.
What's next? Maybe the hot water heater manual. The hot water heater itself has bellied up and is being replaced Wednesday.

i stumbled upon your blog through a search of "getting rid of clutter". I really admire you for throwing out 30 years of poems you have written!! (I have 30 years of drawings). Not sure I can throw them all out yet, but so far have filled up four recycling bins with old bank statements, letters, cards, manuals, etc. IT's amazing how much we can collect. Keep up the decluttering! :O)
