I am a PACKRAT

[BIGDTFC]

pack rat... it looks like an explosion occured in your basement.

[joannajean]

super marry-oh brothers?! lol cute.

[RVsleep]

give the stuff u dont use to a famliy member or just sell it and get cahs for it wat ever it takes to make room for new things.....

[LuckyGuu]

If you like HG Wells, then try:

The Wanderer, by fritz Leiber........buy it on eBay or Amazon

P.S. much time has passed since you made this video, are you now less of a packrat?

[LuckyGuu]

When sitting/sorting stuff, repeat these words: "Free your self!" Even when not sorting, repeat those words and this will help to reprogram your mind. Little of the stuff you showed will help you live a better life. Pick up each item and ask yourself, "Will this item help me to have a better life or reach my goals? No need to trash items, just leave the items in ramdom indoor places on campus and someone will claim/enjoy them. Everytime you will do it, you will feel better! then celebrate

[djnoobcake]

HAHAHA ill take that pokemon poster..

and the kuro neko bag, that is pimp!!

give your shit to other packrats rofl XD

that is mint right there ^^

[exotictofu86]

cool! I'm a packrat too! but I never knew the word packrat until now. thank you so much lol ^__^

[bigboy45454545]

You're not a PACKRAT.......You're an an ATTENTION WHORE!

[ChaoticMonki]

Are you MAD?

Haven't you seen Toy Story?

Your stuff has FEELINGS! Don't hurt them and make them envious of new-age stuff!

[Thompet1]

Lean a piece of plywood against the outside of your window. Get a snow shovel. Scoop, lift and throw.

[acidglow]

Pretty

[patch6]

You organize the items into bags / boxes first, leave them for a year, and if you haven't used them in that time, chuck them.

[markjurrens]

Lol did it and the boxes sat for 2 years now I know what to do with the boxes.

[SilentNinja505]

1) Find someone else who is a packrat.

2) Give old stuff to aforementioned person.

3) Repeat.

[gr1mpillmag3]

I think every cute nerdy girl, period owns a DS XD

[pcgod8]

It's kind of hard to tell, but I think you have the same desk I do. Mine's not as cluttered though, mostly just has a bunch of CD's, networking gear, laptop, etc.

[EpicRsBattles]

Hold a contest to win the items.

Step 1: Choose the stuff that you want to get rid of.

Step 2: Make the contest really easy so that there will be lots of winners.

Step 3: Make the winners pay shipping and handling for the awesome stuff that they won.

Alternatively, you could place all items into a plastic bag and discard.

[danrupert]

advice = ebay for stuff that's worth money. charity for stuff that isn't.

[Shizzle7111]

Ummm, have a garage sale! And it helps if there is something specific that you really really want to buy. That will give you motivation to get the extra money to buy something really cool.

[XxXxXHarukoXxXxX]

I once had so much random crap on my floor... there was no floor anymore, the carpet was not visible.

[Jarneaan85]

I know what you are talking about. U should see my desk! Oooo teh horror! ^^

[oidvous]

Yeah I also have issues like that, my desk often looks like yours.

Tip for excess paperwork / documents / instructions: Scan in, archive, and toss the hard copy.

And being a packrat is not so bad if you have everything organized in boxes. My mom has three full rooms of my parents' house just for storing her junk, so I guess I'm used to it.

Also my best friend recently read that H.G. Wells book and never stops talking about it

[weirdaw]

We area same... i always keep my old stuff..I'm lazy to throw them:(

[Glyphstream]

Step 1: Look at stuff. If you haven't used in the the last three months, place in garbage can.

Step 2: Place garbage bag on curb for pick up (or in a dumpster if you live in an apartment complex) (or in a bonfire if you live out in the wild lands with no trash pickup).

If you wish, you can separate the "trash" and take them to different places like old books go to the used bookstore, dead animals go in the yard, and so on.

[DimitriKarlov]

^_^ /agree

[thetubeaccount]

that pokemon poster is awesome and ur parka has eyeballs

I became a packrat inside of my car and I solved it like this:

First u must clean it, I know it's scary but

the key is to keep a huge trashbag next to where u are sitting, I hid mine where it couldn't be seen and I left it always open so whenever I had something i didn't need I could just thoughtlessly toss it in - after one month or so I looked down to see that the bag was absolutely full, I took it to the dump and tossed it. (repeat)

[LovelyLeiona]

Actaully, that is a really good idea! I should tell my mom about it...since her van...is always messy. I should also try this with my bedroom though, buy myself a big garbage can or something....it might help me out in the long run heh:D

[thetubeaccount]

I found $20 cleaning my room once - envision a similiar outcome for yourself if you need some added motivation

and attack the mess with momentum

[BelovedWhy]

5 stars and a vid response!

[BakaMandy]

Ahaha! I have the same problem xD I have stuff from like... my first sleep over and kindergarten.

Get some bins or some boxes, and then label one "keeps" and "don't want/need" and go through your room and throw what you want to keep and what you don't into their respective boxes xD; that's what I do. Then the don't want/need box is put away for like a garage sale or something.

or i just throw everything in a box :P those kinda become those time capsules.

[agusbong85]

Tips:

Arrange all you belonging so it doesnt look messy!! and the next step is if you bought something new make sure you throw away or give away one of your stuff that you think you dont need it!!! so good luck!! your trash is maybe someone's gold!! just remember that!!

:)
