I grew up in a time when "things" were expensive and or difficult to source. So the natural tendency was to hoard, just in case.
I also have a tendency to keep things associated with good experiences and memories.
The result is I have far, far too much stuff. I am now trying to declutter the parts of the house that contain my junk. This is harder than it seems.
The next BIG task is to get rid of a lot of wood in the garage, some inherited when Dad died in 2000. I will need a skip....
So, my advice is be tough with yourself. Don't keep stuff without good reason. Ask yourself two questions: "will I ever need it" and "can I easily buy it".
If you are uncertain about needing it and can easily replace it, then dump it. So that's do as I say not what I do eh Peter? Not exactly, more do as I want to do.... Work in progress. I'm using some of my wood to build my coffin. When you see the cost of coffins..... Sort of yes, you can take it with you....!
