I’ll have to admit that I am a pack rat.  I mean, I keep snippets from papers I read, cardboard from clothes I buy, and all the doodads that I have collected over a lifetime.  What does that mean?

I have a lot of junk.

This really hasn’t ever bothered me, but one website that had the best reviews on a social networking site enticed me to visit it.  Guess what it was about?

Pack rats.

Now, I have seen a lot of very cool websites in my time on the Internet, but this one was the best.  It had a plan on how to reduce the amount of junk you had accumulated and get out of the pack rat habit (that is what I would call it).

It was really a simple way to do it.  They suggested go through one thing (be it a dresser, closet, desk, file cabinet, etc.) and sort all the stuff into two piles:  one for just cool stuff, and the other for just stupid stuff.  What do you think you do with the stupid stuff?

Put it in the garbage or recycle it.

So, I have decided to tackle my file cabinet first to see how it goes - I hope I can break my pack rat habit.
