Feeling sentimental about our stuff is a big reason that we keep more than we can manage. If we could see through a stranger’s eyes, we’d see a lot of things that have lost any practical value. But it’s easy to look at our own collections through filters of memory and nostalgia and to rationalize our attachments until our spaces are overflowing with the physical reminders of our pasts.
Our August meetup will explore the sentimental roots of clutter. We’ll examine the rationalizations we use to hold on to things that we should logically let go. We’ll suggest an approach to decision-making that balances sentimental value with our real-world conditions of time, space, and resources.

As usual, we’ll open the floor to your questions, success stories, and tales of trouble spots.
We’ll have refreshments, and don’t forget the drawing for a door prize or two! (You must be present to win.)
