I went through some bins I’ve been storing in my bedroom closet (which seconds as my arts and crafts storage area). I got rid of a bunch of stuff, like heaps of dead pens/ highlighters/ markers, expired condoms (??), and etc. “memory” items I’m not really sure why I was keeping.
It also gave me a chance to take stock of what I have and organize it accordingly. For example, I now have a drawer (in one of those plastic 3-drawer storage containers) completely dedicated to cards and stationary stuff. I really do LOVE organizing!!
I like doing this on a regular basis to not only help me get rid of stuff I clearly have no use for, but also to remind me of what I already have so I don’t purchase more just because I forgot I already had it (or something just like it) at home.
Since it’s getting nicer out, I’m also planning a yard sale soon. This should help me (and my roommate, who I’m forcing to join me) get rid of some stuff, as well as make some extra money.
