Porcelain Statue
Posted in Antiques on 05/06/2009 02:51 pm by adminHow do I decide what to keep or throw away?
I'm not much of a pack rat, but I do think it's nice to keep SOME childhood toys to preserve memories of an easier time, however, at what point should I stop? How many of you "non-pack rat" people out there keep many treasures of your past? Is it worth it to keep a magic 8 ball, porcelain statue, infomercial products, etc.?
HELP!
I am a recovering pack rat and I have finally learned to let go of things. I first determine how often I use the specific object. If I have not used it in the last month, chances are it's not something I really need. If on the other hand I want to conserve something because it has special meaning or it is valuable, then I start storing things very carefully. By this I mean that I either display the items or put then in a memory box where I keep special and specific items. Just remember that you need to put things away carefully and not keep them locked away with no specific purpose. If these items mean anything to you, display them. If you are keeping them for nostalgia sake, take a picture, create a scrapbook page and give the item to someone else so that they can create their own memories.
If your closet or room becomes even the least bit cluttered and you find yourself moving things from one hiding place to another, then consider getting rid of things by giving them away or simply having a yard sale.
