My grandma drilled this into my head. Don't put things down, put them away. Okay. Don't dump it on the dining room table. Hang your coat up in the coat closet. Don't put it down. Put it away.

stuff from people who've passed away. Someone was in your life that you love dearly and you're keeping all this stuff and furniture and things that you don't like and things that you aren't gonna use because you feel, well, how could I possibly let go of that? I can't do that.

What I always tell people is you're keeping that stuff because you don't want to lose the connection to that person that you loved. And I don't want you to either. But if you're keeping all this stuff of theirs and it's become a burden, you're actually dishonoring their memory. I loved my grandmother, so I still love her. She's the first person I hope I see when I go to the other side.

I have like three things of hers. I don't have that much, but the things that I have, I wear her wedding ring every day. And every time I look at it, it makes me smile. But I don't have a house full of her stuff just to honor her memory. I have a few things that I use that make me think of her and love her.

I've been doing this for 15 years. I think I did the math recently. I have something like 40,000 hours of decluttering and organizing under my belt. I can count on three fingers how many times somebody has called me and said, oh, I want that thing back. Once it's gone, it's gone. And so it's about getting in the process of letting go. Is this thing going to help me? Is it worth it?

You know, piece of furniture that you may not use in your new house. Is it worth the X amount of dollars it's going to cost to move it across town, right? Like do the economic math of it. And it's the... And it's the sort of muck and mire of the decision making. And once you make the decision, you feel great. So it's exactly what you said.

You feel guilty or you feel like you're not being smart with your money. But if you can work through those decisions and let the thing go, you don't really ever think about it again.
