The idea of simplifying (heck, even the idea of starting to try simplifying) can get pretty inspirational. I was reading some blogs during my lunch hour when I thought about my previous post and how I talk about having clothes I don't wear but don't get rid of. I looked at the clock and saw I had 5 minutes before I had to head back for work and I realized that a fast, time-limited purge would FORCE me to make snap decisions. Usually that's a bad thing, but my problem in this case is that I usually waaaaay overthink the purge process to where I become paralyzed with indecision and "what if"s and don't do anything. I look at that closet every single day, I know what I've been dilly-dallying over, I know it, I just need to DO IT.
I sprang out of my chair, rushed into my room and started flicking through the hangers one by one, pulling things out and muttering to myself, "This doesn't go with anything - GET RID OF IT! You hate the sleeves on this even though you love the color so you never wear it - GET RID OF IT! You don't even REMEMBER the last time you wore this - GET RID OF IT! This always makes your legs look puny and your ass look huge - GET RID OF IT!!!!!!"

I like this kick that you're on. I'm moving next Tuesday (holy crap!) and the purging process is huge. Your experience empowers my resolve.
