Getting Rid of Clutter

I had a realization yesterday- I am a pack rat and a germaphobe. These two things conflict with each other and may explain some of my underlying anxiety.

I rent a storage unit since my condo has no storage space. I went a couple days ago to move my stuff to a bigger unit and there were a lot of critter droppings.

Initially I freaked. Gross.

But I am trying to see it as a sign that I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff. I know me, and I would've just moved the same crap to the bigger unit. No doubt about it.

I don't know why I hold onto things. I found an article that discusses clutter. I am going to try and get rid of more and keep it from piling up.

Oh, and the second unit I moved my stuff to also had droppings (although not nearly as many) and the guy that worked there felt bad for me and moved me to a third place where I found one dropping. So, while I see it as a sign to get rid of my stuff, it apparently is a storage building that has some pest control issues.
