Your Life is not a Museum Piece - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

This morning a friend and I were talking about the clutter in our lives. She has lifetimes of paperwork, photographs, and ephemera from parents and grandparents to wade through, and I have lifetimes of collectable objects, and some paperwork and photographs, too.

Does any of this sound like you, too?

My friend and I talked about how giving things up can feel like losing the person who loved it or wrote it or is pictured all over again. Here’s a way to honor the memories while clearing out the clutter that’s easier on your heart.

If you have a box of old photographs you inherited, set aside time once a week to go through part of the collection. As you go through the pictures, make two stacks – special and not special. Put the not-special ones in a box to be donated to the historical society in the town where the photos were taken. Scan the special ones into your computer, or use a service that will scan them in for you, then add the special ones to the donation box.

You can do this with paperwork and with collectables, too. In this way, you’re honoring the memories without having to hold on to the things.
