De-cluttering
Been doing this since February and I can see all my belongings fit into 3 large suitcases. It used to be maybe 8?
Still a little bit more to go. It's amazing when I look back and understand clearly how I ended up with all these stuff.
Cleaned up my life and room. Feeling better.
Getting rid of clutter, physical and mental.
How do you feel about de-cluttering?

I love the idea of a good de-cluttering or spring cleaning right before taking the next big step in life. Freeing up new space gives me room to breathe and take on fresh new perspectives. I do feel it also makes for a good reminiscing session as we go through old belongings, think back on the lessons learnt and have a good laugh now and then.

Thank you for your input :)
I just packed a suitcase of items and weighed it. A whopping 30kg! and then probably the rest of my other posessions would be another 30kg. I think seeing all my belongings laid out in front of me is a moment of revelation and clarity.
Not just physical belongings, but also our thoughts, connections etc. could use some de-cluttering too :) I'm glad you enjoy de-cluttering. It feels nice to have a cleaner surface.
Hi @AuroraBalloon15
Well done!
You may like to post this in the Hoarding forum, lots of great tips in there too :-)

Hi @AuroraBalloon15
Congratulations on the progress you're making there. I know a couple of people that struggle with hoarding and the larger it gets, the harder it becomes to get it under control.
As a side-note, I moved this to the Hoarding forum category as it's a good fit for the thread. Good luck!
@Roadie Thanks for helping me do the shift :) First time posting (old time hoarder and maturing de-clutterer) so still trying to figure it out slowly.
