i also recently had to establish a "main collection" that i needed to focus on because literally all 6 groups i collect had comebacks in the same month and it got overwhelming😭 i had to remind myself that the photocards will always be there and i dont need to complete comebacks immediately. so once my "main collections" are in a good place, then i can back track. i am a big supporter of putting your energy into things that make you happy. i feel like im constantly changing how i collect because the second i feel like im losing interest in something, my brain shuts it out and moves on to something new...might just be my adhd tho😅 i am also an avid miscellaneous collector for groups i rly like but dont have the energy/motivation to fully collect. ateez is one of those groups for me since the amount of album pcs each comeback is ridiculous. i collect 1-2 double sided a5 pages a comeback and only collect my favs/ones that complete a concept spread! love these types of videos since it reminds us that there is no "obligation" to collect and at the end of the day, its your collection and you can do things however makes you happy! i hope this change works out for you :D
@AnieStar yes!! I'm always constantly reminding myself and others that your collection, and how/what you collect, is whatever you want it to be. I think, especially on UA-cam, we see so many people feeling pressure or obligations with their collections, and it doesn't have to be that way! Collect what makes you happy!
I literally just went through this with my collection. I was only collecting 3 groups (Stray Kids, Ateez, and Itzy) but i found myself only focusing on Yunho (and Wooyoung and Seonghwa lol) so i made the decision to just focus on Ateez. I'm collecting top 3 for album cards and then just Yunho (mostly) for merch. i'm having so much fun
@BabyHotteok1025 yeah the more I found myself forgetting about my other collections, the more I was like...maybe something needs to change. I feel like I've always put more time and energy into my ateez collection, so I think it's time I admit to myself I don't care as much about everything else 😅 although I did decide to still collect dosie from purple kiss. So just ateez and purple kiss now 🤸🏻♀️
@ I would love to collect someone along with Ateez….but I can’t lol I keep buying random Ateez things. I just have a feeling I will end up collecting ot8 either album cards or merch (or both) next year. I already have at least 3 binders for just them 😂😂 the only rule I’ve set is I won’t buy it for another member until I find Yunho’s.
I'm going through this myself. I put collections on hold to focus on ATEEZ and Changbin mostly, but I'm wondering if I just need to stop collecting them permanently? ATEEZ just takes so much time and energy, I have nothing left to pursue my other faves. Ugh. I'm gonna keep them all though until I decide if I wanna go back to them. Great video. Glad you found a solution 🎉

@BabyHotteok1025 lol I have many many rules in place for when I buy ateez or else I'd go crazy 😅
