box in the attic

If there are things you know you won’t be using but aren’t sure about throwing away, you can make some progress by packing them in boxes and getting them out of the way. Stored out of sight they’ll be more quickly forgotten, yet you can get them back if you suddenly decide they are necessary. On the other end of this process, look through boxes that you haven’t opened in years. There might not be anything inside that you need to keep.
