Get rid of stuff.

I read a lot of home organization books back in the day. One of them called for a six-month purge. The theory goes that you go through the stuff in your house and get rid of things you’re not using, stuff that’s broken, stuff that is not adding joy or usefulness to your life. Several years later I realized it was supposed be a purge every six months. I was still on the first go-round. In fact, I'm still on the first go-round... sort of. I try to remind myself that I’m freeing stuff to bless other people’s lives, and freeing myself. Moving helps tremendously, when you realize your poor knees are going to have to lug that onto and off of the truck.
