    I started holding on to the stickers my kids give me waiting for that perfect spot because what if I put it somewhere and change my mind later and now, well

      When I recently committed to putting some of my hoarded stickers on my laptop, I got friends to place the first few, because I knew I would be paralysed with indecision.

      Maybe you could use a similar mechanism of breaking the decision paralysis? If you have kids (plural), if one kid gives you a sticker, you could get another kid to suggest where to put it. If you’re feeling really wild, you could give the sticker to a kid and ask them to stick it somewhere (if they’re old enough to understand what kind of place would be bad/damaging)

      I sympathise with not wanting to use up the stickers, but if you do use some of them, then as well as having this delightful stash, you’ll also have a few cute reminders of your family scattered about. And if you fear your supply is running low, you can give your kids a standing order of “if you see any stickers that make you think of me, I want 'em”. It’d make you easy to buy souvenirs for, for sure.

    My solution is to use sticky tack (adhesive putty) to put the stickers on an area of my wall that I’ve dedicated to that.

    It allows me to use and display the stickers without using its real adhesive.

    I started collecting stickers, since I don’t dare messing up my furniture and stuff.

    I only stick them on immediately when I have planned it ahead. But then I buy or print the stickers on purpose.

    I have a collection of stickers I’ve accumulated for years. Only used one once because I had it in double. Regretted it forever. Better keep them all mushed together in the drawer.
