Thank you so much for watching! Ignore the typo at 4:58 - it should be "think about how to repurpose an item" not "thing!" I deleted the original footage and wasn't able to make that edit. Please subscribe to see more content like this, if you're not already, I'd love to see you around my channel 😊 www.youtube.com/@tarynmaria_?...

I take photos of things I donate that I cared about, but, all of a sudden I am thinking, well, what if I lost my phone? Then my photos would be gone! Lol. Non ending!!! 🌻

I watch that tv show Hoarders. It is an inspiration and motivation to regularly declutter and organise my things. I've always struggled with organisation but am learning skills from utube videos.

I'm one of the lucky ones who isn't attached to physical objects. I came to the realization that the only time I ever look at my sentimental items is when I'm doing a round of decluttering and they started to become more of a burden than a delight. For example, my childhood Easter basket was taking up a lot of space but I don't decorate for Easter, it wasn't anything special (cheap, mass-produced), and I have all the fond memories associated with it even after I finally decluttered it. I kept a small bin of personal effects just because that's the expectation and my daughter would be offended if I threw out any cards from her. Cards have a very special meaning to her; she keeps every one that she is given and she puts a lot of time into the ones that she gives to me. We learned in therapy that she has an extremely emotional thinking brain and mine is almost entirely logical based thinking. She thinks I might have autism because I don't have strong emotional reactions or attachments but we're just very different and a balance of both is actually considered ideal. Being the polar opposite, her emotional reactions can be over the top, she takes things too personally, and she can have hoarding tendencies with sentimental items like cards.

تصوير الاشياء هو فوضي الكترونيه مش اكتر لو فعلا محتاج تتخلص من شيء ف اتخلص منه كليا و تعامل مع مشاعر التخلي Taking photos of the things you diclutter is like clutter shifting you crated digital clutter! You need to let go and manage those feelings

My problem is less about sentimental ”stuff” as in cups or mugs or the like, but rather in things I created or others created for me that I recived. Such as old letters, old drawings, old texts or old photos. I used to hoard everything as in every piece of paper or old notebooks from school, but 8 years of decluttering have actually helped and I have basically only one old 70ies trunk/travel suitcase filled with sentimental stuff. There are five stuffed toys from my childhood but the rest are the created type of things. I have no cualms about getting rid of objects gifted to me that I dont like, but those created things! Its the better kind perhaps but even that can get too much! Anyway.. although I have whittled it down so much more than I ever thought possible for me, I have a very long move ahead of me, fast approaching. And I feel that I should be able to let the past go. Just live with the essentials for my current life. Why do I have to old on to this trunk filled with things I don’t use and only see when I declutter? I love the trunk, that I will hold on to (was mynparents when they were young), but I could use it to hold other things? Anyway, that category of stuff is just so hard, its so personal it can get. They are not objects bought, they are created.. how to think?? I really feel like I should lessen my load more! To be more mobile/flexible/moveable, more free…

I have some things displayed in my home that I really enjoy seeing. But I did have some others that I thought I should keep because they were from My childhood but they brought some bad memories too. It took me some time but finally I decided to let them go, and it felt so good! Thank you for sharing these tips!

Good tips love it thank you 🙏🏼

شكرا جزيلاً

Some people “love” everything and have a problem letting go bc of that. If someone feels like they love everything and they feel like everything is valuable, (then like you said in your “decluttering lies” video), then nothing’s valuable. Can you prioritize things you “love” as well? And if that certain item has a HIGH love value, then keep it? 0:54
