Comments on: Decluttering My Childhood http://www.lifehackingmovie.com/2009/02/19/decluttering-my-childhood/ A documentary on life hacking Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:39:43 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Joey http://www.lifehackingmovie.com/2009/02/19/decluttering-my-childhood/comment-page-1/#comment-875 Joey Sat, 21 Feb 2009 21:53:44 +0000 http://www.lifehackingmovie.com/?p=227#comment-875 Thanks! My only regret is I wished I had done this sooner because once I finished I had to go back to my current home, so I didn't have time to enjoy the clean room. The childhood items used to be hard to toss, but at this point I realize it's the memories that matter. That and photos, which take up little space, so it wasn't too hard to get rid of the childhood stuff. Plus it's from a life that isn't really me anymore. Thanks!

Plus it’s from a life that isn’t really me anymore.

Decluttering isn't easy, especially if you've been used to gathering clutter without discarding any of it throughout your life, but it is so worth the effort. I've always been one to purge unneeded items two to four times a year, but Hubby was always a pack rat. After nearly four years of marriage, he's not only come around, but he's getting pretty good at decluttering without being urged by burgeoning shelves and closets. Childhood items are the hardest items to tell good-bye, but without doing so, it's so difficult to make room for the future. It looks like you’re off to a great start.
