When I moved in 2010, I disposed of a great deal of books and VHS video tapes. It broke my heart, but it had to be done.

I still spend money on a storage closet, and I would rather not. One month's rent is not a problem, but when you multiply that figure by 12, there just aren't that many items in the closet that justify the sum total.

I have put on my Amazon wishlist a few books about hoarding and how to overcome the habit. I realized while researching the books that there is a difference between organizing a mess and disposing what you don't need.

By the way, last month I celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of my buying my first record album, Meet the Beatles, and there is no way that I will voluntarily get rid of my LP's and CD's!
