It is, as most of you know, the time of year when many of us are convinced our lives can be improved by a session of spring cleaning. After all, do you really need to keep the bright yellow sweater you wore once five years ago and then tossed in the back of your closet? Or maybe it is time to look over your book collection and admit you have no interest in rereading the science fiction series you collected as a teenager and have never bothered to give away.

I've found this approach also works well with downsizing your book collection. Regardless of my state of mind when sorting through my book collection, I have found setting aside the books I don't think I want or need anymore and then returning to them in a day or two helps me to best evaluate whether or not I am ready to part with them.
