Overcoming Reluctance

It's not unusual to find yourself reluctant to do this, even with Pile 3 items. A trick to help you is place the selected items together in a literal pile, or in a cardboard box and put them out of sight. Leave them for a week or two. Have you missed them? Probably not, so go ahead and get rid of them. Feel anything? That's the weight reduction. This process gets easier the more you do it. In time you can lose Pile 3 altogether and make inroads into Pile 2.
