Get rid of one possession every day

-1 orphaned shelf

I used to use this thing to prop my monitors up on, but then one of them died, and I haven’t had a use for it. For some reason, it ended up in my kitchen (!?), on one end.

Near the rice maker (rice maker, your days are numbered)

-2 busted old harddrives

Why was I keeping these around? Did I think that some day they would magically start working again? One of them makes a LOUD clicking sound when powered up. Yes, the red dot means it was tested as a dud.

-1 SCSI Zip Drive

-1 VGA switch
-1 Mac serial mouse from 1989
-20 CD Jewel cases
-10 misc cables

Ok, this is hard. I seem to be actually gaining more things. It’s not that I don’t have things to part with, it’s just that I have a hard time putting them in the dumpster and filling up landfills. Finding the proper home for all this stuff is time consuming.

Any by giving stuff to other people, you haven’t actually solved the problem. The point is to re-evaluate what one really needs, not shuffle my crap away for others to deal with.

I once worked for a place that took material donations. The stuff that was pilled up to ‘give to the poor people’ was sometimes offensive in it’s complete lack of function or value.

Donated to charity.
