Keep in mind that getting rid of your things can turn into an expensive and long process. It took me about 3 years to dump most of my physical possessions and digital legacy and I'm still left with a bunch of stuff. During that time I've also started a new project at http://flipso.com that should help to sell/exchange stuff to or between your peers.

Really depends on your definition of getting rid of. For me, the cost of getting rid of something has to be less than the cost of keeping it. If you're controlled by your possessions, they're poisoning you, so you're best to just drop them like a bad habit. Sell it, donate it, do whatever is fast and easy.

No offense whatsoever, but taking three years to rid yourself of uneccessary material possessions is WAY too long!

It should take you 5 seconds to decide if you need something in your life. If not, it should take 5 more seconds to decide how to get rid of it.

I'm not talking about decisions but the actual process of selling, organizing, etc.
