Well, that certainly resonates for a 9 who happens to be married to another 9. I had to do a massive clear-out so that the engineers fitting my new boiler would be able to get to things like pipework and radiators...and so that I wouldn't completely die of shame when they saw the state of my house. I can't believe the stuff I have hung onto, including OHP slides from a presentation that I must have given over 20 years ago. My PRINCE2 folder stays, though. I sweated blood for that. And the copy of Gray's Anatomy that I bought as an OT student...it's just a nice thickness for standing my laptop on for making videos.
haha! I also (faaaairly recently) got rid of the old acetate slides I used 20 years ago! I recommend moving house once in a while - does wonders for clearing out. Actually, I don't recommend that at all. Absolute nightmare. Unless, of course, it's part of building an even better next chapter. In which case, carry on....
Isn't it though! It's one thing to clear away some of the small stuff (and even that can be harder than it seems like it should), but thinking about what big stuff no longer supports the current and future you.....muuuuch more challenging!

I love this... And it’s a challenging thing to think about.
