When organize your "stuff" - how do you prefer what to save and what to bring rid of??
Any ideas on parting next to sentimental items no other family members want??
Answers: There are simply three reasons to keep something.
--You requirement it for future reference
--you use it on a regular cause or seasonally
--it is a treasured item and has special memories
On my website www.organization-makes-sense.com I have a tabled a variety of questions that you can ask to determine what to hold on to and what to give away. Too many to account here.
For family treasures that will not last over time I would suggest taking photos of them and storing the picture . You might want to write a little journal as to the connotation of this item and why it is special to you. But it can hardly be a family treasure if nobody requirements it?!
Since the sentimental items have meaning to you solitary you can create a special recorded archive for the item but you do not need to keep hold of the actual item.
I try to forget the logic "I might use it for this... I might need it for this." and think "I havn't used this within how long?. It's broken and I'll never repair it..right now it's more important to simplify and if I ever do stipulation this at any point in time -which I likely never will- I'll step buy a new one." I do three piles "Keep It" "Toss It" & "Donate It" In the end at smallest half of the stuff should be gone. Chances are if your family doesn't want it very soon, they won't want it later so unless it is very special to you don't hang on to it. Lots of luck! I don't envy you!
Anything like clothing, accessories, music and stuff from concluding season goes straight into the bin. I've always hear the general rule is, if you haven't used it in a year, chunk it.
