Are You A Hoarder? Pt. 2: Tips to Stop Hoarding

So, you've figured out that you're a hoarder, too?  Or, in the very least, you have a room or space that could use some winter cleansing.  Well, it's a new year and no better time like the present.  Let's get started...

First I caution you, even for the mild hoarder, purging isn't always smooth.  You'll find lost items and use every excuse to re-incorporate them into your life, regardless that you've gotten along without it. Don't stress or feel torn.  Breathe.  Put the item aside and come back to it in 24 hours.  Then take action: put it to use, donate or discard it.
