Toy ’spring cleaning’ over the weekend

January 19, 2008 | By Juliana Heng In How to collect toys, Managing your emotions, Toy care |

Spring cleaning in general is harder to do than said. It is appalling to realise how much junk and clutter I had accumulated over the past year in my room. Many of these items (e.g. magazines, brochures, reports etc.) were the results of my new found interests last year and I had yet to go through or read all of them before disposing them. There is always this mentality that I might need them in future, so it is a waste to thrown them away now.

Then again, a close friend once advised me: any thing that has not be in use for a year will not likely be useful in the coming years, so junk it now. This is easier said than done. It is difficult to throw away stuff when we have too much unnecessary emotional attachment to those things. Nevertheless I have to ‘harden’ my heart and just ’spring clear’ away the useless stuff so that I have available hidden places to ‘hide’ my precious collectible toys.
