Should I take before and after pics?
Thanks.

Post pics if you're brave enough! LOL!

But seriously, getting started is the hardest part (or maybe the hardest part is acknowledging there's a problem?).

Having stuff isn't always the issue--making sure you're organizing it efficiently is an important thing. But many people eventually realize that they can do with less and hardly miss (or even remember!) the stuff they dispose of (either through selling or donating).

I would start by getting rid of the stuff you don't want first. I also find that things don't take as long as you think they will. If and when you get overwhelmed, just do 15 minutes at a time. Sometimes you get on a roll and want to do more.

I would start by getting rid of all the trash... including broken items, stained clothes, etc.
