More from It's All Too Much: meaningful stuff

With regard to the topic of Collectibles:

"It's a collection if:
  • it's displayed in a way that makes you proud and shows that you value and honor it.
  • looking at it brings you pleasure.
  • you enjoy showing it to others.
  • it is not an obsession that is damaging your relationships.
  • it is not buried under other clutter.
  • it doesn't get in the way of living the life you wish you had."

    It's All Too Much, p. 134

    Even if an object isn't a "collectible", if it really does have meaning for you, it should be well taken care of: not covered in dust, or stuck at the bottom of a box, or buried under other meaningless clutter.

    He's also got a great section on sentimental items, which should prove useful to, well, everyone I know, really.

    My goodness, I have a lot of work ahead of me... but N and I packed another box of books last night that is slated for sale.
