But gee, you might need that Cuisinart someday. Scrutinize whether or not that in fact is something that will be useful to you, or whether it's seen its better day. And if it's seen its better day, then send it to another destination outside of your home, whether it's having a garage sale or giving it to a thrift store or passing it along to a friend or relative or donating it somewhere where it will have life. The whole thing about clutter and having it in your environment is that it's lifeless. You want to bring your environment alive.
Stuff has energy and it has memory.
That's what I was going to ask you next. I think there's a place for memorabilia in your environment. A place where it can be appreciated and shared and not obstruct your forward movement. You know, to think through its place in your life and put it in its proper place, which may be the past. And it may be contained in a scrapbook, an album, a treasure chest.
