Cleaning my Closet! 4 week challenge to a cleaner, tidier inventory

Outfit: White Cat by Larnia Kids

Did you know huge inventories are more at risk to lose items than those that aren't as unwieldy? (okay, this is anecdotal only, but it's what I've noticed)

How big is YOUR inventory? Mine has 38,644 items today.... and it's a disaster!

Despite continued efforts, our inventories can get crammed full of stuff we don't need. This hurts our load times, the ability to find what we want, and increases the potential to lose inventory. This can really stink when we've spent good L$ on our stuff! We want to be able to find and use all 30K of those items!

So, for the next 4 weeks, I'm going to share with you some tips on how to start taking that unwieldy inventory and making it just a little more manageable.

I'm going to start you off easy this week.... we'll pick up the pace next. This week should take about an hour.

Week 1 Challenge : Delete things that you can easily find and remove
Step 1: Note your starting inventory number
Step 2: Do a search for the following things and delete them:

1. Delete (Delete me, etc)
2. Hovertext, floating text (hovertext scripts)
3. Give (Give inventory scripts) 
4. Pose Stand, posestand
5. Thank You
6. Read ME (some of these might contain directions, so check them out before deleting)

NOTE: As you're deleting make sure you delete the item and not the entire folder, so check your trash as you go.

Step 3: When you've finished, right click on your trash can and empty trash. Post your start and end numbers, if you dare!

To get you all super hyped about doing this challenge, if you post in the comments each week with a start and end number for the week, at the end of the 4 weeks, everyone who participated will receive a super special gift from me! (yes, it will increase your inventory count..but just a smidge) :)

Hope to hear how this week goes!

Love,
