"It's the time of year when many households are trying to eliminate excess and get their lives organized and in better order."
"But in the midst of decluttering, you might end up getting rid of something you actually wanted to keep instead. I reached out to experts to see if they have any decluttering regrets. Here's what they said."
Many households attempt to eliminate excess and organize their lives each year. Decluttering efforts can lead to accidentally discarding items that are later missed. People commonly regret removing sentimental objects, children's artwork, functional tools, clothing, and craft supplies. Emotional attachment, underestimating future utility, and pressure to simplify often drive premature disposal. Preventive tactics include instituting waiting periods before disposal, photographing items for memory, creating designated memory boxes, labeling storage, and opting to donate rather than throw away uncertain items. Mindful organizing decisions and simple safeguards can reduce the likelihood of decluttering regrets.
