    Since my early days, I’ve been a fan of many TV series, cartoons and anime, so I have a lot of DVDs, merchandise and other things related to them.

    However, I do not feel as attached to any of my favorite shows anymore.
    I want to move on, and remove the unnecessary items.

    Sadly, if I watch just one video of a series I no longer like, I fall in love with it instantly again. For a time.

    This gives me the impression that, I’m not ready to let go just yet.
    All I need to do is spend more time and I love it again.

    So my question is, how to know what to let go?

    Hi Ellen,

    I have had the exact same problem!

    What I would do is get rid of 12 items a year. i.e. 12 DVDs, 12 Books, 12 miscellaneous.

    I then would limit myself regarding watching old things and starting to watch new things. So for myself I’ll start no more than eight shows a year. And only buy ten related items concerning the shows. Five for my birthday and five for Christmas.

    It all sounds so nonsensical writing/confessing this. But that is how I would hold on AND let go. It’s a delicate balance!

    Don’t beat yourself up either.

    Best,

    Inky
