I found stuff from 2010 in my room

This actually happens quite often in my case. I mean, I'm already in college and I still have some homework saved from my freshman year of high school. O_O

I throw away most stuff, but some things manage to survive the test of time, for reasons I don't even know anymore. (Like, what the actual hell was I thinking when I decided to save 'em, y'know?)

Nope. I am all about letting the work pile up and then tackling it in one swift movement. I can't stand doing a thousand things individually. I don't have stuff from 5+ years ago just laying around in piles though. I go through a complete room remodel just about every year or two. Take all of my stuff out of my room, clean the ceiling, clean the walls, sweep the carpet, clean the baseboards, and then throw in some of those bug grenades to make sure there's nothing crawling around.

Apparently that's the best method to cleaning and keeping things organized. Instead of gradually getting rid of things, you have a day where you think to yourself, "I'm going to spend the entire day reworking everything."

I probably go through those phases several times a year, both my room and closet, but more often the latter. I do identify myself as being a sentimental person so I become attached to items such as cards given by friends, gifts, etc. so there's a number of them littering my room. Though I try vehemently not to become a borderline hoarder like my mom. Whenever I reorganize my room, I always seem to need an extra box here-and-there or if I'm lazy, I'll simply resort to throwing them out.
