Especially if you have a lot of crafting supplies.

I’m struggling with a lot of fabric, yarn, and various random wooden things I paint. I have a single bedroom apartment and there’s so much stuff that some of it is on the floor.

Honestly with that small of a space you may want to re-evaluate how much you can do.

This has been a lifelong struggle for me too, I always have more crap/projects going than space will really allow.

It can be incredibly hard to be honest with ourselves about this.

A few tears ago I started containerizing stuff (Sterilite makes a great variety of containers, they're translucent and strong, and not cheap - get them at walmart). They get a *label with a date so I know when I initially boxed things up.

Using containers really helps organize, makes moving easier, and... forces me to evaluate "is this thing container-worthy?", because containers ain't free.

I've sent a lot of stuff to the charity shop.

*I've discovered the labeler tape by itself (unprinted) is awesome stuff. I get the large size (nearly an inch) and just have the labeler feed it through and use it as a blank - it takes sharpie really well, which is easily removed with rubbing alcohol, so I can update the date easily, or change what a box is for.
