| For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive? | My husband keeps tripping over my shoes in the entryway. He says only a centipede would need this amount of shoes. My hairclips are everywhere around the house and I can't find the one in the right colour. I keep buying stickers because the ones that I have are just not quite right. |
| For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer. | I think it's ok to keep all the shoes that I wear over the course of a year. I just have to put them away so they don't become a tripping hazard. When it comes to stickers: "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without", I have to use up what I have before I get new ones. |
| Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive. | a small ceramic kitchen container for storing spices from my great-grandmother. It's probably over 100 years old. My Mom used it in her kitchen and I still display it in my kitchen. |
