The problem comes about when, some years later, you go to find the thing you crucially need and then recall that you threw it out during decluttering. 😄Also, you can sometimes have regrets - I went through my parents' house in Australia two years ago to get everything I wanted to keep before removal people came to clear the house so it could be sold. I was very ruthless as I live in the UK and I needed to keep the number of things sensible. There are some things I now regret having got rid of at the time or left behind - but it's all too late now!
Yeah, I totally get that! I’ve definitely regretted getting rid of things during a declutter, but it’s usually just one thing out of like every 30. Going through your parents' house must’ve been hard, especially with having to make those quick decisions. I totally get the regret after!
@@Avg.Argonn I think you have a useful benchmark in decluttering things of little value that can be replaced - if you really *do* need it, you can buy it again. It's one of a kind things that are the most sacred in this line of work. Yes, it was difficult clearing the house - unfortunately I let the Public Trustee take control of the finances and they subsequently told me I only had one month to sort through all my parents' possessions (and mine) and take what I wanted and considered me a squatter in my own parents' house. Another thing to add to life's lessons - NEVER let a government department help you if they offer. I legally signed away my rights until the day my mum dies 🙄
@@youparejo I didn't throw things out, but I did give away a Pembroke table (instantly regretted, but it had been sold by the shop within 15 minutes, so I was too late to buy it back!) and my great-grandfather's commemorative silver-plated tray presented to him in 1905. I left behind my dad's (non-working) watches - some of which I now realise were probably worth money. Sometimes one can be too ruthless.
@@cbnewham_ai ooh I see those are very valuable indeed. For what it's worth, I admire people who can let go of stuff. At least, you don't have these clutter your mind and space
Thank you for this! Loved it...very motivating 😊
Thanks! I'm glad you found it motivating! 😊💕
I keep stuff forever! I know, it's gotta go sometime. I'm tackling one bedroom in January, that's a start. Thanks for sharing.
Same here! It’s so hard to let go of stuff sometimes, but tackling one space at a time is such a great approach. Good luck with the bedroom!💕

What are the thing you regretted throwing away

Well edited video young lady. I can say that because I'm older than you.
Aw, thank you so much for the compliment! And I’ll happily take ‘young lady’ 😊
I was trying to find two 72mm filters (3 stop ND and 1 VND)... they must be buried somewhere.
Lol, tell me about it!
