The Unstuffing Dilemma

I am sitting here having leftover chicken and veg and a cup of coffee for lunch listening to the most random mixed playlist. As i am sitting here i am looking around at this room, I am very proud of my efforts and the feel of this room is like a breath of fresh, warm, homely air. I am well on my way in my 'Unstuffing journey' today...... however as i glance around this lovely inviting, relaxing room i catch a glimpse from the corner of my eye of the graveyard that is the 'room that was'. Everything from this room has been relocated to what used to be my dining room, dining table and part of my kitchen bench. Here is my dilemma. I feel so proud and satisfied at my achievement for this morning, though i also feel stuck and overwhelmed at the sheer volume of 'stuff' that has been taking over this space and now have to sort through it deciding in the process what to donate, throw away and keep. Every part of this experience is daunting to me as i have a very hard time knowing what i 'need' to keep and a hard time breaking through the 'i might need that later on or i am emotionaly attatched' scenarios. I am not a hoarder i think i'm pretty normal, most people i know have a whole bunch of stuff and usually not enough places to put it. I am more than happy to let go of of  these inanimate objects however i say again my problem is not knowing if i will need it down the track or that the item has sentimental value. As far as keeping things is concerned my fear is that i will just start jamming things back in to my lovely revamped space and it will end up overwhelmingly cluttered again. It is also hard being the only person responsible for the space as well, i am the one who has to sort it all out therefore all of the other lovley beings that habitate the area just drop things or jam things in spaces and walk away. I have decided on a plan of attack and it may well be the worst thing that i can decide to do but with two young children and a busy life it is the way i'm doing it. I have decided that i am going to have a 'dumping and sorting room'. My little boys have a playroom that is generally quite tidy, all of the toys are separated in to categories and placed in plastic tubs on larg shelves. This room has been 'trashed' and is undergoing some much needed tidying as i write. It is about to be taken over by the contents of my unstuffing journey. I plan to take everything from every room in this house that needs to be sorted and jam it in there until the time comes when i can sort through it thoroughly. This may seem like a bad idea and it is in some respects, i'm delaying the inevitable however i need to get this house completely sorted as it is driving me mad. I am downsizing, eliminating and simplifying to the best of my ability. This way i can do all of the process at once from the sorting (donate, keep, sell) to the re-homing (trips to vinnies, creating a place for everything-everything its place system, having a garage sale). Please wish me luck, i will need it!!
