Donators' regret is where you go all gung ho about decluttering and tidying up and then later you realize you tossed something you need or still use. Do you declutter too quickly? Do you have a hard time letting go of things because you may one day need them even though you don't now? Are you constantly re-buying stuff you gave away or donated? This is called donators' regret.
