Have you been one of those people
who have burnt all of their older notebooks
or decluttered to the point of bare minimum possessions?

I am a minimalist by nature, which means if I can't keep it stored in my head, then I don't keep it stored in a notebook on a shelf because I won't remember where I put the notebook.
I have a rule in my house and that rule is, if I haven't worn something at least once in the previous 12 months, then it goes to the Salvation Army at Christmas time.
When it comes to generalized 'stuff' that we keep in case we want to be reminded of our past events no matter how good or bad they were, the only time we are ever aware of the contents of that box is when we drag it upstairs to load it onto the moving van when we're moving to our next home.
Anytime you see a big moving van driving down the highway, just remember that it's packed to the roof with stuff that never got unpacked from the last 5 moves that same family made, so they just loaded it up once again and added more stuff to it until they needed a 40 foot trailer to carry it all.
Moving vans therefore, are full of un-finished or un-addressed business in a person's life which that person doesn't actually want to face nor address in any way in the near-future, which is why those boxes won't ever get unpacked at the new residence.
