I should be packing

No, I'm not talking firearm.  I'm talking boxes.  We are moving in 2.5 weeks and I still have a list as long as my arm to accomplish beforehand... and yet... I sit here... typing.  I'm kinda avoiding, kinda overwhelmed and kinda just sick of making decisions. What to keep, what to pack, what to throw out, give away, donate, sell.
Sigh... Nine years was too long.  Even with my bi-annual clean outs, I just wasn't thorough enough.  There is still,

Too. 

Much. 

Stuff.

 (yes stuff, the other s word, in the barn, we cleared out last week)

How does one NOT accumulate it?  Stuff I mean.  I like clean, I like sparse, I like space.  How do I get myself and 5, I mean 4 kids and a husband to help me be that way?  There are societies out there where people need stuff, even after bag after bag is donated I'm still fighting it off!  It seems our society foists it upon us and we swim in it until we are suffocating. I know this for sure;

WE DON'T NEED SO MUCH STUFF!

I'm not trying to stifle creativity or the innovation driven economy, I just want a simpler life!

Ok, rant over.

 Back to packing.
