We respect your time.

This newsletter will take

3.55 minutes to read.

Declutter something you don't have sentimental attachment to, like storage containers, hair accessories, or a box of old cords that you haven't used in years.

Ask Maria:

I Can't Part With These and I Cherish Them

GON Reader Question

You may have tackled this question before but what can I do with all the cards my five kids and husband have given me over the decades? I can't part with all of them and truly cherish most of them. Creating my book would be about 10 inches thick if put them all in sleeves!

Thanks for your advice! I feel like we're soul sisters after so many of your newsletters.

-- Jennifer S

Response from Maria

Hi Jennifer,

I loved your "soul sister" comment. That truly made my day!

Regarding your question, obviously those cards are important to you. If you put all of those cards in plastic sleeves, that's going to make it a bit of a hassle to enjoy them when you want to do so, as you'll have to remove each one to see the written words on the inside and then reinsert them.

What I suggest are storing them in greeting card organizer boxes. Many of these come with dividers that you can label to sort your cards by occasion or by family member.

As long as you have the space AND you find enjoyment in looking at these cards, this is a good solution.

Opt to declutter other items that are not as precious to you if you're hoping to free up space.

Another possibility, especially if you're short on space, is to digitize these. Take photos of each or scan them, and keep your memories in The Cloud. This way, you're keeping the memories without them taking up physical space.

Hope this helps!

"Good morning Maria, I was sad to read your story in your November 3rd newsletter and the email you were sent. I would never expect you to address any of the atrocities happening in the world. I enjoy your emails as an escape from those atrocities.

You have provided many helpful tips for organizing, bettering oneself, and wonderful reading suggestions.

I like starting my day off on a positive note by reading your newsletter. Keep up the good work!"
