This is a picture of my memory box.
It's slightly bigger than A4 (printer paper size). I have an A4 folder in there with my goals from every year since 1998 (nerdy, I know, but that's me!), which is when I started setting goals properly.
I have some birthday, Christmas, and anniversary cards, notes from people, etc. in there. Of course I don't keep everything and when the box starts getting too full, I go through it and see what I can let go of.
This works for me because I'm restricting my memories to a container and creating a physical boundary.
How do you store your memories?

Where do you store your memories?

I also have a box for my memories (which I call my treasure box)and get rid of a few things when it gets too full. However, mind looks more like this. It includes a couple of favourite toys and other keepsakes from my childhood as well as smaller items.
Yes, I use those for my pictures and I have about six of them crammed totally full. Plus I have a cedar chest and large Rubbermaid tote for the larger things.
I also have a few other things lying about, like my late mother's purse, my Dad's golf clubs and her things from the nursing home. Just can't bear to part with them, so I set aside a shelf in my storage room for them.
I'm pretty sentimental, but I'm willing to declutter other things so I have extra room for these things that are important to me.
Adrian, I love that you let go of some things so you can keep others! That’s exactly it.
Janet, I love those tubs. Strangely enough, I’m using those to organise the babies’ clothes (when we eventually get some LOL)
Oh goodness, I would love to get it down to one box or two. I have a few little boxes, a large box or four, and other assorted items.
I'm always inspired by your posts though - so that's good!
Ditto, ditto, ditto! I am at a crossroads though... my box is full and I haven't been keeping as many things because the box is full. Do I get a new box or reduce the first one?
Megan, reduce - go through and see if you still feel passionately connected to those things. Or take pictures :)
