I am soooo tired--physically. I've been reorganising and cleaning and tidying after Greg finally got rid of some of his hoarded junk: 6 cubic metres of it. I reckon there's another three to go, but at last the piles of DVDs and books are now off the floor and tables and onto the newly-cleared shelves. I haven't sorted them at all; that comes later

It may take a while this way, but if you do this at least once every day, you'll find it won't take you more than a few weeks (a month, tops) to get your entire house reorganised and mostly clutter free (a little clutter is unavoidable, you're still living there, you know).
I try doing this once a year and my rule for throwing things out is: if I haven't so much as touched it for more than a year and it isn't there to look pretty, it goes into the garbage or to a recycling center. This includes technical stuff and clothes and on occasion even books. In all the years I've been doing this, I've found that only twice have I thrown something away that I then later needed. And since those things weren't very expensive, I felt that the lack of clutter totally justified the very minimal expense of buying the stuff again.
