This process is particularly useful if you are feeling reluctant to actually discard your old possessions.

  If you have a lot of clutter then its best to start with one room.

  You will need a number of storage boxes with lids and either a database/spreadsheet package or a pack of index cards. 

  Number each box and have a blank sheet of paper numbered for each box.

  Now, working with one item at a time, ask yourself if its being used or is important to your current life.

  If its not, then put it in one of your boxes and record it on the paper belonging to that box.

  Keep going until you have gone through the entire contents of the room.  You can do a general sort as you go so that all clothes for example go into the same box.

  In only an hour or two you can box  up the clutter from an entire room.

  As your space becomes less cluttered so you'll start feeling lighter and clearer in yourself and with a record of where everything is you'll be able to easily find things.

  Now enter each item into your database, recording the name of the item and the box number its in.  Alternatively, you can record them on an alphabetical card file.

  Find a place to store your boxes.

  If, after 12 months you have not had to go to a particular box, you can discard or donate its contents, or if you really can't bear to discard it, move it to a storage facility.

   By clearing those things that you're not wearing or using from your life, you create a space, not just physically but energetically for new things and experiences that are more in harmony with who you are now to come into your life.

  We are all capable of creating a better life for ourselves but when your life is clogged with stuff you no longer want or need, then your creative process becomes clogged and slow also, leaving you feeling frustrated and often overwhelmed.
