Summary

We all have (at least) one category of stuff that's extra hard to declutter. I'm addressing that today, inspired by this email:

I am a teacher who, due to life circumstances, is leaving the profession shortly before I could be considered early retired. I am working part-time as a substitute teacher because I can not seem to let go entirely. My question for you is: how do I let go of all the teaching resources I have accumulated and created over the last twenty-plus years? As a substitute teacher, I would realistically only need some of the materials, but not 80 boxes worth. How did you deal with the process of letting go of your professional materials?

I have been stuck with this issue for a long time. I have other clutter issues, but at the moment, the professional materials are one area I would like to conquer soon.
