I wish I had added this to the list of resolutions so I am very sorry to add this to the list so late in the year. My resolution this year is to throw away every possible thing I will never use. I’m going to get rid of 85% of my stuff this year. I don’t think I will miss any of it and the end result will be able to actually organize the stuff I do use and be able to find it when I need it. Getting rid of stuff is so exhilarating.

As soon as you do you will need it next week. That's the way it happens with me

Just do it...

Well [censored]. Now I’m not going to do it. Thanks a lot.

Edit…..I needed a reason not to do it and you gave it to me . I’m not going to stop drinking anymore now too. It’s all your fault.

I'm in the process of throwing stuff away myself.
Trying to clean krap out so I can put the house on the market.

You need to keep drinking. Fluids are very important. You can not live without them.

Don't do it... I needed some half inch 4" stainless steel bolts recently... We move 2 years ago and I got rid of them... Now it cost me $60 to to buy them... Let the kids throw it away when they have to go through all you stuff after you've taken the dirtnap... Dan

Boy that went a whole different direction quick

^This is the absolute gospel....you may have it for YEARS without using it or even knowing what it goes to...but throw it away and within a week or so you will know dam well what it went to ...

Danny, Didn't you have a thread like this when you moved a few yrs ago?

I built a 60'x100' metal building out in the back corner of one of my wheat fields for the wife and her family to store just their [censored]. I was beyond tired of of my in-laws "temporarily" storing stuff in my barns and shop etc.. I kid you not I opened up their building the other day to get something for my wife and that damn thing was 3/4 full of JUNK. I was perplexed, that's roughly 4500 sq ft of [censored] and their house is probably only 2500 sq ft. I told the wife when they die I'm gonna give it all away first come first serve and I'm burning the rest.

We literally gutted our Texas house before we loaded up the essentials to move. I made over 25 trips to the dump over 3 months time with a large SUV jammed with useless carp. It was incredible what we had collected over the years. I have missed a few things, but nothing critical

I will put my hoarding sister up against anyone out there.

You wouldn’t believe it…..

My wife hates to throw anything away. We moved into this house in 1998, and there are still about two dozen boxes of stuff we did not need at the time out there and we still don't need anything that's in them.
