    Think really hard before you ditch something. I got rid of a ton of stuff when I moved abroad and I regret far too much of it.

      Having moved like 50 times, and lost a few households of things I want back I endorse this message.

      Don’t do decluttering because it’s a fad if you’re not the type of person it suits. I work with hundreds of tools and it turns out they are essential in the course of my regular projects. Decluttering is always an experience in stupidity for me.

      That said, I don’t tend to buy useless crap because I hate retail environments both online and offline. Scrap is my go to because material costs tend to exceed my budget.

      Don’t hate your scrap resources for no good reason! Hate it because it’s low quality or something. Most things I clear are due to it being someone else’s wheelhouse or requiring funds I don’t normally have (at which point plans would change). Time in motion and other studies!

      I disregarded decades worth of stuff when I move abroad. So thankful for it. I need very little, and I hate anything I don’t need.
