@twystd - in the interest of helping & sharing: I have a card from a Professional Organizer I did Zoom sessions with over the past year: OrganizationRules.com, Vickie Dellaquila.

She sent me this TradeMarked card, which I share here (I strongly recommend her services - she is credentialed, has 20++ years of experience, and is a very calming but insightful presence - especially since we did it via Zoom):
"Pause Before Purchase" [TM]:
1. Do I need it?
2. Is this a want?
3. Do I have cash for it?
4. Where will I keep it?
5. How do I feel?
6. Can I pause before purchasing?
_________________________________
I keep it by my computer, which I am on a lot through the day, and it has given me pause, but also thanks to her services, I got over a hump. But there is always more to deal with, and soon I will work with an organizer who can travel to my location (kind of $$$, but hard to find someone who will work confidentially in-home in my area). Will see how that goes, but I just need hands-on help getting through some of the things I really have accumulated and can donate / consign / remove to others who could enjoy them too. Seems it's an ongoing process - for me - but, with help, I am optimistic I can get "through -- beyond -- and over!"

Best wishes. I understand! 😉
