To make a grand generalization: Everyone, at one time or other in his or her life, has come to the realization that over the years a collection of some sort has grown to the point of disorganization and resulted in redundant items. Let's take shoes as an example. You buy a pair here and a pair there over months and years. One day you are able to see past your desire for just one more pair, and in a moment of weakness assess your current supply.
The assessment is alarming. You realize your shoes are stored throughout various rooms and floors in the house, including but not limited to ten pairs of black dress shoes, counting two that, oddly enough, are exactly the same only different sizes (Why different sizes? What was I thinking when I made this purchase?) and that there is a clear lack of a pair of comfortable flip-flops.
