I'm not sure how much 'memorabilia' you're talking about... If you've kept every little thing, you might consider becoming your own curator and selecting only the most meaningful items to keep. Then simply 'release' the rest. Ask a friend to do the releasing for you, if that feels more comfortable. If you think there's a book there, you might find a writer for the job at Elance - http://www.elance.com/. Good luck! Michele :) Hi there Marge!

I have single-parented all my life, my son is now grown and in business for himself. I've sorted 'memorabilia' many times and now, since it is so difficult to sort any more, I'd like to find (commission???) a writer to write a book. Does that sound unreasonable and/or possible? Then I think I'd be able to get rid of even more 'stuff'. I determined from your ‘quiz’ I’m not a hoarder – but: I have a somewhat unusual (my choice) task.

Your tips and fabulous. love the "don't worry about making the wrong decision" comment...I think that's the biggest fear for people. Keep 'em coming...

The more you do it, the more of a habit it will become. Thanks for sharing! Michele :-) Hi Hadassah,

It’s wonderful that you’re getting into the flow of making a decision and doing it now! The more you do it, the more of a habit it will become.

I don't pile clothes on the cedar chest anymore. I put them into the dirty clothes...I can still be shameless and get them out to wear again but it take so long to sort and put a whole pile away. Life as an efficient woman is working for me. I have my own business and being organized is key. I have a place neatly piled on my desk with all my support stuff. Business card blanks, stationary and letterhead and envelopes. I act on leads as soon as I get home...It's working. I have found that your advice to decide to do it now and make a decision helps me.
