Who knew that cleaning could be so nostalgiac? Every thing I pick up seems to make me think, whether it be computer magazines from the height of the dot-com boom to the piece of paper with a number on it that facilitated a certain prank on the last day of school. I’m a terrible packrat, and for the past four years I’ve been saving tons of schoolwork, assignments, handouts, absent notes, everything because of some misconcieved notion that somehow I might need it at some point in the future. The downside to this was of course when I did need something I had so much other stuff I had the hardest time finding the thing that I was looking for. The other thing that strikes me is all the stuff that I saved that hasn’t been used since. It has put me into a strange mood, but the cleaning must go on. I just hope I don’t throw away anything important.
Clutter is what I call what you have. They say if you haven’t worn or used it a a year ..get rid of it.. Easier said then done I know. Speaking from experience after several Clutter removal missions there has been nothing of real importance that I got rid of.. Just trying to reassure you it’s ok..
Many times when I am cleanig ” de- cluttering” I find stuff I bought but at the time I needed it couldn’ find it so I went out and purchased more of the same stuff.. Now that is a real problem..
Keep up the good work .. Do it fast so you don’t have second thought so and go with your first immediate impulse .. Yes to keep or no get rid of ..
