Follow up to 21 day.organizing challenge

21 days to get organized 2012 follow up May 2014 It didn't take 21 days. I didn't even finish the challenge. I do that quite often, and I'm learning to accept that it's part of who I am to start and not finish. In the past two years, I have donated many of the items in the kitchen that have not been used. Right now, I'm tiny house dreaming, so I know I must pare down our belongings by next year, 2015. Our goal is to get out of debt and travel cross country. How much stuff does one person need? I've already given away more than 50 pairs of shoes, 8 full 35gallon bags of clothes, and I still have a 10x15 room full of stuff I haven't used in two years that I am emotionally holding onto. These items belong in online garage sale, consignment shops, donation bins, or some other place other than the spare bedroom. I have no definite time frame for disposing these things, so they remain.
