I think I’m getting better about this goal. It’s not nearly as hard to throw away stuff as it used to be, but I have to keep this up on a weekly basis, instead of letting things pile up. I also think that as soon as I start organizing my things better, it will be more obvious what I need to get rid of, instead of just setting things aside with no real place to go.

My new apartment is an efficiency, meaning its the size of a closet and I literally own more than can physically fit in these two rooms. It’s amazing how much stuff I’ve already gotten rid of and it still hasn’t seemed to have made a dent in the collection of junk I have right now. Ah my.
This goal is definitely going to have to be a necessity. Up on the agenda today: go through my entire record collection and see what can go. Blah.

Ok so if I keep organized enough, I’ll notice the stuff I really don’t need, right? If it doesn’t have a place to go, then it needs to go!

I organized almost the entire basement this afternoon. I don’t even remember keeping some of this stuff from when I moved last. Next up…the attic. Yikes. It’s insane how I could basically get rid of almost two whole rooms of stuff and not even realize the stuff was gone. I think I’m finally getting over my need to hold onto everything.

I’m moving no later than June 1st so I have a ton of throwing away to do. Good thing it’s getting close to fleamarket and yard sale season so maybe I’ll be able to get some money out of this idea too. That would be nice!

This is a great idea though! I hold onto way too much stuff that I should just let go of. I have magazines from like the early 90s under my bed and I think maybe they should be the first task I should work on. Not to mention I have to really minimize what I own, since I will be moving within the year and I can’t take all of this stuff with me. :/
