If you haven't touched it since you put it there, throw it out. By not opening the boxes, you resist the tempation to reminisce and slow your progress and keep the stuff. Toss it.

Yeah, I know that's what I *should* do, but deep down, I just know there's a Chewbacca action figure in one of those boxes just begging to be displayed prominently on my desk at work. Really though, while going through the boxes, if I don't recognize it immediately, it's going in the garbage. I think when all is said and done, the 50 or so boxes I ahve in there will be cut down to under 10 -- and they'll all be labelled and organized. And, though I don't want to admit it, they'll probably sit in the attic untouched for years... Yep, you're right. I should just toss it all. Thanks for the tip Gigi!

I'm a reformed pack rat myself, and over the years I've come to realize that all the knick knacks and mementos that I've accumulated over the years are just dust catchers and space eaters. As cheezy as it sounds, the important things to keep are the memories. And the best part about that... they don't take up any space! Gigi, I agree COMPLETELY!!!
