But I am also a bit less mobile due to knee pain. I cant power through like I used to . <br /><br />Planning is required. Here's where I could really benefit from suggestions. <br /><br />The way I used to approach it:<br /><ul><li>clipboard + sharpie</li><li>1 page per room or closet</li><li>pitch/give away/keep</li></ul>This time, I'm actually starting with a minimum basic list of KEEP. I'm hoping to pare it down even further. that means a lot of what came with me will need to be released. <br /><br />STORAGE ugh<br />I know what happens with storage - I have friends who have struggled to pay for storage for years and never done anything with their stuff. or worse. but.....<br /><br />ART&nbsp;STUDIO That is the part of life its always been a struggle to afford, and is dearest to my heart. I have several big peices (the flat file is the most precious, followed by an enamel top table, then a sturdy canvas storage shelf built of plywood, and a tall metal cabinet - things useful and expensive to replace)<br /><br /><br />all ideas and encouragement accepted!<br />BOOKS I reduced my library by 70% last move, and still have 16 liquor boxes (the best for books - small &amp; sturdy!) of art books. <br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=unclutter&ditemid=79793" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://unclutter.dreamwidth.org/79793.html dread moving OK, go public venturous 14
