What was that list someone(s) posted about how to decide what to keep?

[LCBMAX]

I can't find the thread but it included a couple posts from you smart mamas - in particular there was one which had a short list of emotional questions and another had a longer list which included questions like "Are you keeping it because it was important to the person who gave it to you?"

I thought I'd saved it in my email, but clearly that needs decluttering too...

I dunno, but I hope someone finds it!

not sure if this is it, but this thread has a couple posts with lists of questions that seem helpful.

"how long am I going to carry it around?" is my fave. I keep reminding myself I don't get a prize for holding onto an item for X amount of years. Just today I threw out a book I got 21 years ago (it was written in the cover) that I don't think I've ever read... "but I had it for so long so how could I get rid of it now" was my thinking.

YEEESSSSSS! That was it. You are Oliver's-search-term-mama-goddess!

Thanks so much. Vanessa and Amys1st 's posts were the ones I was looking for. Hooray! I'm inspired again.

Does anyone know why are all the words that say the or decluttering in red at that link?

[yeahwhat]

Because the+decluttering+questions were the search terms. Search terms are usually in red, I think to help you find what you were searching for.
