Dealing with guilt over unused journaling supplies

[swingandswirl]

 /points to title/ Yeah, that's... pretty much my question in a nutshell.

When I was in grad school in 2016, a Filofax with inserts worked beautifully for me, and I bought the 2017 inserts. Except now I'm not in grad school any more, and the inserts REALLY don't. (In fairness, I don't think they ever did, they were just very good quality paper and made by a woman-owned small business that I was happy to support, so I did.)

I plan to switch over to a bullet journal (which I think will work much better for me) but I'm struggling to deal with the guilt of 'wasting' the old inserts - not helped by that I also bought a bound planner for a work thing that wound up not happening. Intellectually, I know it's just $40, and I've spent more money on stupider things, but try telling that to the brainweasels. Does anyone else get this? How do you deal with it?

I'm kind of the queen of overstocking on hobby supplies and then dispersing them to friends every few years when I realize I have too much weighing on me. Do you have any friends or acquaintances (local on online) showing interest in trying out Filofax?

(If they aren't dated, then I may horde them for decades. I figure I'm just stocking up for times when I have less disposable income >_>*)

(*This philosophy also applies to yarn, fabric, jewelry-making supplies and other things that don't tend to go bad with age.)
