I have issues… hoarding issues!
I am not one to hoard a lot of ‘things’, in fact I am very conscious of having too much stuff lying around the place and I really hate clutter. However, when it comes to paper work and in particular my Uni stuff… all that hard work that I put in over 4 years, I find it extremely difficult to throw away.
So when we moved back into our newly renovated house (yes, I will get around to showing you), we had a stack of boxes marked ‘O’s Uni stuff, or technical books etc. (I was such a good student!) of which made it into our designated study and that’s where they have stopped, but tonight I started the big throw away and little by little I will consolidate what I think is useful to what is not.
Time elapse…
This has been a very time consuming task and one I have done with great angst, will I use this again? will I at some point, even though I haven’t used it in years need to refer to it one day, these questions keep popping up.
In doing this I have now reduced my original 12 boxes down to a tidy group of folders, a few text books and an interesting refresh of knowledge of the building and construction industry. To answer the question, do I need it again? well Im sure having the resource there is a good back up plan, but most times I need to know something, I do have a library down the road, of which I am not yet a member and there is of course… Google!
