| 6 Ways to Collect Successfully! |
1. Decide what you are collecting and why.
What's appealing, beautiful, or fun about it to you? Discover your own criteria for
your collection and use it as a tool for determining what you should and should not
include in it.
2. Value quality over quantity.
3. Only keep as many items as can be displayed or stored with
care and respect.
4. Collections are reflections of our own tastes, interests, and
values.
If you are keeping an object in your collection only because it was a gift from
someone else, why not pass it on to someone else who would appreciate it more?
5. Decide what a reasonable size for your collection is and, once you've
reached it, practice the "one in, one out" rule. This means that each
time you add a new object to the collection, commit to letting another one go.
6. Limit the number of collections you have.
Focus in on the one or two that bring you the most joy and personal satisfaction.
