Is this a viable plan?

Short bio: chronic clutterer since tramatic event 22 yrs ago. I don't say hoarder because i don't have problm getting rid of stuff. I have been unemployed for 2 years & will be losing my home in the next 6 mos. So..I must prepare for this and since we may be moving to the car i really have to pair down to what will fit in a 12x12 storage locker for when we get a real place to live again. I have a 2000 sq ft home, full basement & 3 car garage PACKED. To say it is overwhelming is an understatement.

My initial game plan is to start in the basement (has the most workable space). What I have done is set up areas with counter space down there to stage different categories. As I open a box I quickly sort contents into these 8 categories (much like you would find at Walmart/Target) & place in the respective work areas. I am doingthis quickly & not spending any time evaluating what category it falls in. If it is flat out obvious trash, yes i'm pitching it then & there.

Once I finish doing this to the things in the basement, I will take tubs of things from the main living area down there & do the same. Ditto with the garage.

After completing this step i will go through each of these departments and do the keep, donate, trash method. Again, I don't have a problem getting rid of things just overwhelmed in getting started. Unfortunately, i just 'rinse & repeat' and get myself in the same situation. But i won't have time for this go around.

Does this methodology make sense to you all? I struggle so with organizational skills.

Thanks

The method to this madness is I will be able to take the best of items I have duplicates of & discard the others. I have 'sets' of things that are scattered so they can marry up. I can also have bulk of similar items (i.e. Books, Tools) for listings for craigslist for the most efficient disposal of these items.
