Honestly, I think the first time is an initial purge, and the second far more intense because you're re-visiting items and can be realistic about how much/how little they've been used since you went through that room last. Once you see what hasn't budged since the first sweep, it's easier to put it in the purge pile. Kudos to you for sticking with your commitment - it's a long slog! :) Josh, We did two sweeps of each room too.
