Having moved several times I can testify that it can be a very cleansing experience. Things that you thought you always wanted forever and forever, suddenly seem very unimportant. However, for ordinary clean up of a home I think there needs to be more contemplation and consideration before making final decisions. Sometimes all that is needed is the courage to do some careful organization, which often takes longer and requires more work, but then you have preserved your resources. One time my parents decided to clean out their garage and throw a lot of things away. I saved a lot of papers, pictures, and other memorabilia. When it came time to throw a surprise 50th Anniversary party for them, I had many items to display on a table showing their life together. This is an important example, but I have also had several times where I kept a little item, like a tool, that suddenly became very useful. The most important thing is being able to find your resources. If you get to the point where you can't organize order into them, then it is time to get rid of some things.
