There is something immensely motivating in terms of downsizing: MOVE!
I've been at this for two years but more "on the side". My basement has hardly been touched and is full again. It is hard on my ego when the moving company representatives suck in their breaths in horror at the sight. I've sold books but there are at least 300 to go. I have furniture and knick-knacks I never look at.
By the end of November, I have to have all the stuff I don't want to drag into the new apartment OUT OF HERE. I've thrown myself into selling. Some special students are receiving gifts of cute things I've enjoyed and I hope they like. One did wonder why I gave her a bunny cup. Another surprised at a picture frame. Aww, I mean well kids.
If I don't get a handle on this, I'll have to throw a whole lot away. At least if I put the stuff out in front of the house, the things will magically find their way into other hands, er, sticky fingers. In this case I don't mind at all.
