Moving helped me get rid of a lot of stuff. A lot of books were packed in boxes and put in a storage locker where it stayed forever. Then I moved in 2008 and I dragged those boxes from the storage locker right into the garbage room! Then I ruthlessly went through my bookcase and dumped all the books I read once and never read again. I dumped all of my vcr tapes as well as my vcrs. Gave away my record player and small collection of vinyl.
I hadn't touched any of them in years so there was no point of taking it with me when I moved. I now have just a small number of books that are slowly being replaced by ebooks, at some point I'll get rid of those too. I refuse to do clutter
