Having to declutter, not wanting to!

[twisted_times]

I'm going to have to move house in the next 2 or 3 weeks. In an ideal world, I should take this as an excuse to declutter, ditch lots of the random papery guff that is cluttering up my bedroom and make moving my stuff easier. However, the sheer scale of it is overwhelming me right now. I've got a huge list of stuff to do and not enough time to get it all done.

I think in a timeframe that short, it's a good idea to have boxes or bags for trash/recycle/shred/donate or whatever categories you prefer and toss stuff in them that's obvious--but a full, in-depth, careful evaluation of ALL THE THINGS is probably too much to get done on top of packing in that kind of timeframe. But--even if you only get rid of some of the obviously unneeded stuff in the packing process, that's still less stuff you have to move and less stuff to go through while you're unpacking.
