Cleaning Out Your Home: Maybe a good idea but beware the psychological toll

I’ve lived in my home for 43 years and have never done a complete clean-out of all the stuff I’ll probably never use again. But one of the COVID lockdown’s silver linings is that I’ve now done it, as I did with my mom’s home after she died. 

Here are the psychological issues that came up for me. Perhaps you’ll find them of value, maybe even get motivated to do that clean-out that’s so easy to procrastinate. As I mentioned, I may have broken the world’s record for the longest procrastination: 43 years.
