Get motivated to purge in 3 easy steps!
Step one: Turn on tv
Step two: Tune tv to A&E's Show Hoarders
Step three: Get totally grossed out and begin throwing away your stuff
I have watched this show twice since I've been home on vacation, and each time I've thrown out a huge bag of stuff immediately afterwards. It is gross. And everytime I watch it, I look around at the piles of crap in my house and I think "OMG, this is how it starts." And I start tossing stuff.
I am not a super neat person, despite being a librarian. :D I have the tendency to save things because I might need them, or I feel guilty throwing them away. This is ridiculous, especially in a 1100 square foot house. I was just going through the "sippy cup shelf" and there are baby bottles in there, the ones they recalled because of BPA. So even if I DID have another baby, which would take a miracle at this point, I wouldn't even use them anyway!
So yes, if you have the tendency to save things, watch this show. It works!

Funny! I was watching Hoarders while packing up our Christmas stuff. My mom is a hoarder and as a result, I am the opposite. If it not used, it goes to a home where it will be used! (Anti-hoarding is also frugal!)
