Answer 1

Its &quot;packrat&quot; disease.... and I have it bad.   LOL

Answer 2

Well, I was about to yell at you but it seems you realized what mistake you made.  YOU CAN NEVER TRUST YAHOO FOR THE CORRECT SECTION!  ALWAYS USE YOUR HEAD AND GO THROUGH COMPLETE LIST OF SECTIONS IF NEEDED!

Have a nice day.

Answer 3

I also have &quot;pat-rat&quot; syndrome. I had stuff in my garage that I had as a teenager. However, when I moved  last time I knew I was going to have a yard-sale----it never happened. Well I just moved again and this time I was able to do the unthinkable, I gave it to charity. It all got loaded up into the truck and off it went.  I think I may miss my stuff but my garage now is looking better. I still have the stuff I moved with to go through but I am slowly making progress. We park outside but I am trying to get that changed.  

Answer 4

I think that a lot of people keep things around &quot;just in case&quot;. Or maybe those extra things get stored and forgotten.

Answer 5

why is this in the category of HOCKEY?

People get attached to stuff.

There is HARDLY anything on this Earth that might be of use one day.

There are books and videos on GETTING ORGANIZED.

In them are criterion - for de-cluttering... they have hard fast rules that will determine if something should STAY or go... and if it&#039;s TO GO, ways to make the parting with the junk less stressful.
