The word stolen from Dreamerbook’s comment. In all good intentions of how to help my friends, I’ve been thinking about the best way to dejunk one's house…I can come up with one way that works for me and so if you wish to try, please let me know if it does the trick for you as well.
Get few big boxes, swipe everything into them. DON’T DO THE LIST OF CONTENTS! Put them away, in the loft, or basement, or whichever hard accessible place you can find.
If after a year you can’t remember what did you put in them, DO NOT OPEN THEM! Leave for another year.
If after another year you’ve never tried to open them looking for something you need, THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU REALLY NEED in them – throw them away without opening.
There. Easy. :-)
Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for mind junk and heart junk - the things that have long gone, but we do still keep them in memory…firstly it is impossible to put it away and store without knowing what’s in there…secondly, no matter how long you’d try to keep it away, you still will remember for years to come…In that respect I dare to say – if you remember certain things of your life, those things were probably not a junk…

- From:Windchimes (Legacy)On:Wed Sep 07 2005i have just dejunked stuff from my house. and i didnt even think twice before i gave them away. hmmm....now what would i do if i realize i need that which i threw in the first place? waaahhh!
i think the mind and heart dejunking can be possible too but it will take some time processing. i know i have totally dejunked when it comes to a time that it crosses my mind and i'd exclaim, "gosh, what was i thinking when i did that?" or "what did i even see in him?" lol.
lala - From:Bubbles1956 (Legacy)On:Thu Sep 08 2005I need to dejunk my house too but I keep hoping I will lose enough weight to wear those clothes again or I have a memory attached to something. Mostly when I do get rid of something, I don't throw it away, I find another home for it lol.
I totally agree with your comment. Our whole system needs to be fixed and our way of thinking too. Sad.......but true.
