Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Grab a trash bag, a donation box, and a strong stomach. You're about to get real.

Step 2: Sort and Purge

Sort items into three piles: keep, donate, and 'I still love you, but I'll never use you, but maybe I'll just keep you anyway.'

Step 3: Organize and Maintain

Use a system, you'll be glad you did. Or prophets of doom.
