We had to practice radical acceptance in having the cleaners come in. H asked if ours was the worst house they'd ever seen and all 3 said, "Not even close."
We got rid of a lot of stuff. We're both pack rats by nature, but we realized that it just wasn't worth it anymore, so if it were something that we haven't used in the last year or two, we threw it away, put it in the recycling, or packed it up to give away.
