Tidying is just a tool, not the final destination. The true goal should be to establish the lifestyle you want most once your house has been put in order.
Your past will become a weight that holds you back and keeps you from living in the here and now. To put things in order means to put your past in order, too.
To truly cherish the things that are important to you, you must first discard those that have outlived their purpose. To throw away what you no longer need is neither wasteful nor shameful.
