New Years weekend can often be lost sitting on the couch watching football. Instead this year it might be a great time to also consider a new holiday: The Great New Year's Day Decluttering.

Over the last few years I have become acutely aware of the clean up and throw out process. It started when I began downsizing myself. Along the way I became friends with the folks at the Fairfax County Dump, Salvation Army, 1-800-Junk, PODS and more My new routine is if I haven't used it in a year then I can live without it forever.

Within shouting distance of my home are at least three self storage facilities. Every time I drive down another industrial road I see at least another two. So where has the need come for all of us to hoard so much stuff?

In today's "throw away" society it seems a bit odd that there should be so much of a need for storage facilities. What is lurking behind all of those locked containers? Is it stuff we really need or is it easier just to tuck it away instead of dealing with it? How much money is being spent every year to store things that really should be headed to the dump or donated to a favorite charity? Could you have a vacation with the money instead?

Need some help getting started on the de-cluttering? It is over-whelming I can admit it! So here are a few ideas that helped get me started on the stuff purging:

• Pick a room-doesn't matter where you start
• Set a timeframe-only work on the room a couple of hours at a time
• Sort through it-look at it once and decide if it is a keep, toss or donate
• Don't reminisce-high school is long over, the faded corsages have got to go
• Keep the space organized-have trash bags and plastic bins handy so that you aren't surrounded by piles
• Repeat the process on the next room-move on the next day or next weekend to another space.
• Reward yourself-trust me after you have made a run to the dump you want a reward

So take a look around and decide what you really need and what is ready to go. You might be surprised how good it feels to not have all of the stuff cluttering up your life. Once your house is clean if you are considering making a move then give Cindy Jones and the CJ Realty Group a call at 703-346-2213. Let's talk about whether now is the right time for you to sell your Springfield VA home.

For the better part of this year home prices in Northern Virginia and, most especially, Fairfax County, have steadily increased. Middle Valley is a lovely, planned community built by two highly, respected builders, NVR and Ryland Homes. In my opinion, this would be a beneficial time to invest in a home in Middle Valley.

Middle Valley is one of the most convenient locations in Springfield, VA since it less then 5 minutes from the Fairfax County Parkway with two entrances on Gambrill Road.

The homes are sited on 1/4 acre lots in a subdivision with gently rolling hills and trees. All utilities are underground and there are sidewalks.

Although the community does not have a pool or tennis courts it is less than 10 minutes from the year round South Run Rec Center and Burke Lake Park.

Middle Valley is in the West Springfield High School Pyramid

Commuters appreciate that it is just a few minutes to a commuter parking lot with commuter bus service.
