  Organizing Thought of the Day

The Memory Box


Before my neighbor and good friend moved away, I helped her go through her filing cabinet to determine what to keep and what to toss.

Getting through most of her filing cabinet was a cinch. She had warranties for products that were long expired, bank statements for accounts that were closed years ago, and other documents that were well past their purge dates. We recycled all of these old papers, and ended up with just a handful of files necessary for her to keep.

However, there was one full drawer of her filing cabinet that was not so easy to go through. It was stuffed with memories, many that reminded her of her father who had passed away a few years ago, and others that represented the lives of her family members--past and present.

It took a bit longer to go through this drawer, as it was a trip down memory lane.

She knew that she couldn't bring all these papers with her on her move, as she wouldn't have the space to store them all.

The solution we came to was that she would take just enough of these memories to fill one portable file box. The rest would be recycled.

Carefully we went though each letter, each note card, each poem (one by one) only putting the most special ones in her box...and recycling the rest. We made file folders for special greeting cards, handwritten letters from dear friends, funeral memorial cards, Christmas newsletters from family and friends, and such, to keep it all organized.

This box is now her Memory Box--a perfect place to reminisce whenever she so chooses to do so...and a box that takes up very limited space in her new 'downsized' home.
