    When my mama died at 48 from ovarian cancer, I went through her stuff. She had things from our elementary school days in a box in the attic. It took forever to go through everything. the papers had faded and macaroni had fallen off the creations we made. 😂 Let it go yall! I’m all for Swedish death cleaning.

      My kids are 25, 23, and 18. I’m currently going through all the old school work and art. I came to the realization they don’t want it! I had old tshirts and sports jerseys made into quilts. I’m making one large box for each child’s memorabilia. The rest has to go! I’m super sentimental but it’s getting easier to toss!

      @@kristencobb230yes my mom kept some stuff and kept giving it to me. I hung on to it awhile then finally ended up trashing almost everything, I just don't need or want it. I think it's generally the parents that are attached to all the kid stuff?

      Good points here from all of you! Yes, as I read these, it does seem that it’s the parents who are most attached! Keeping a few things is often a nice idea, but there is really no need to keep most of it. ❤️👍🏼

      I've been going through the stuff in my parents' attic (they're still alive), and I love seeing the stuff they've saved. I won't keep it, but it is nice to go through it and remember another time after 20years especially stuff from relatives that have passed.

    1) I always put my donations in my car immediately! That way if I'm out and happen to either drive past the a center or just have a certain extra amount of time I already have them to drop off!
    I ALSO to write about dropping them off in the planner, but for errands like this I'm much more flexible, vs Dr appointments etc that can't be moved.
    2) Also, I too and a 'penalty box' that I never called that but same idea. AND I make sure to write on it a 'ditch date's (usually for me it's about 6 months in the future) so if paperwork I can just shred it all without looking at it again.
    If it's donations, I can just donate the entire box without looking in it again.
    It's very important NOT TO look inside again because for many people that resets the 'maybe' mentality and therefore resets the timeframe again:(

    Hi Robyn, enjoying this video and your advice. Thank you. Can I ask what would you recommend for downsizing young childrens sentimental items. Like new baby cards, birthday cards and drawings. My body goes in to stone statue mode and I am really stuck with this. Because like you quoted I don't want to burden my children or husband with excess in this department.

    • @MinimalistHome
      @MinimalistHome  2 місяці тому +1

      You can decide on a memory box and then you only keep what fits in that box. If you have 20+ cards from a baby shower, you can decide to keep them or you can decide to only keep a few or even one super special one.
      With baby clothes and drawings, try and only keep 1-2 per type or category.
      All of these things bring back memories or help someone imagine a certain time and that wonderful! The trick is to only keep enough to evoke the memory and not aaaaalllll of the items.
      I hope this helps!

    I used to have too much stuff, I only noticed when I moved from my appartment to a house.
    Decorations that I diddnt want anymore, books and magazines that I diddnt even touch for a year. But also little nicnacs like old phone cases, supplements and medication, old cables.. lots of small things make a lot of clutter!
    Also got rid of 30% of my clothes. Im so much more calm.
