Don Aslett, author of the book, Clutter's Last Stand…

I always tell people for a little assistance get four boxes and label one box junk, one box sort, one box charity and one box emotional withdrawal. If you get those four boxes; junk, charity, sort and emotional withdrawal if you've got them sitting in front of you when you start through your stuff at least it helps you make a decision you can put it in one box and then the other. And by the way when you get the emotional withdrawal box full, seal it put it up on the shelf keep it for six months and then throw the whole box away. You'll probably never remember what's in there.

Don has been helping people clean up and de-clutter their lives for many years and he believes there's a little magic to it.

Once you start throwing out stuff, once you start throwing out garbage and extra shoes and excess a quiet spirit will creep into your soul and testify you, you don't need stuff to be happy. When that happens, all of a sudden it's a whole carry over into your diet. Most people say it's the best diet they ever did in their life it's when they started throwing out their tangible stuff. I've just had a lot of people tell me that as soon as they're junk went, Mike, it carried into how they wanted their mind to be and how they wanted their body to be. And it just worked.
