I finally sold the thing! I am more excited about its absence than the money.

Have you heard of Swedish Death Cleaning? It's much less morbid than it sounds. It's another perspective on decluttering. Not "does this object bring me joy" but "will someone be happy I saved this thing for them?"

Happy decluttering!

That is a sad but effective motivator in decluttering. The party is an interesting idea. Here's hoping it's full of laughter, nostalgia, and agreements.

They seem to be enjoying it so far. I am getting regular updates on how many things have gone to charity / sold on ebay / gone to a local specialist dealer, etc.

My mom does that too, as she's cleaning out. My parents had to clean out my grandparents' house last year and got that extra kick in the pants to donate more things more often.
