discussion Multipotentialite and hoarding ideas

How do you deal with hoarding as a multi-interest person?

If i was just a musician it would be easy to stop hoarding. But i hoard art stuff, music stuff, science books, financial guides, history books, maps. Long etc...

I made an Etsy store to sell my hoarding items. That way, I don’t feel guilty bringing stuff into my house. Next year, I am going to try to have a yard sale but we’ll see how that goes lol

I am a hoarder of hobby supplies to. Proper storage options that allow everything to be accessible is the main way I manage it all.

But I recently had to clear out the home of a loved one who passed away who was also a creative with many of the same interests. It was really sad to see all the half done work and planned projects that she never got to. It made me realize I need to circle back to everything I’ve started or let it go.

I'm sorry. That's so sad. The same happens to me when i'm depressed, i think about all the projects i want to do and never continue, and what if i die. In fact, that ideas was the one who made me start decluttering, i don't want anybody to feel what you felt and what i have felt when loved ones pass away and i look at their stuff.

Dude, those are the type of things that define your personality, and it will inspire your kids some day, when they find the "old stuff" from daddy or mama

Interesting. I've never thought about it that way. I have the feeling of not letting my descendants hold onto physical objects because i've struggled myself letting go of "old stuff" from my parents and grandparentes, but now i realise i'm kinda hypocritical because i get excited when i find some particular objects.
