As a professional organizer, I am a big advocate of getting rid of stuff unless you use it. Hanging onto clutter is one of the biggest hindrances to becoming and staying organized. Here is an excerpt from a handout I give at my presentations:
• LESS is MORE.
Declutter regularly and don't re-accumulate too much stuff. Only keep and purchase items you are certain you will use. Flylady.net is a website that has helped me develop routines that keep my home running very smoothly with minimal effort, and I would recommend checking it out. Like Flylady says, “You can’t organize clutter. You can just get rid of it.”
Beneficial side effects of decluttering:
o Our clutter can truly be a blessing to someone else who will use it
o We know where our things are
o We commit to actually use what we keep
o We become reacquainted with what we already own
o We spend less money on frivolous purchases
Good luck with your move and congrats on being done with school! If you don't need it, love it, or use it then toss it! It is so liberating once you experience it, but it's an ongoing process because we all have a tendency to gather more stuff.
