JoshI'm reopening this goal...

...as well. I’m seriously in need of getting rid of things. I’m ready to start devoting myself to minimalism. If I don’t love it or use it, it’s gone. I don’t want a lot of things, but I do want the things I have to be of good quality. 4 weeks ago

There_is_hopeWow - life throws you a curveball!

I joined 43 things, started journalizing here, then life interfered -) I gave up two of my goals and deleted them completely. This one is still a valid goal – and I am majking some progress – three years later!!

Why have I been gone? My business changed, my family changed, and my husband has passed away. My life has thrown me that curveball.

But not my goal isn’t gone – still I have this goal, and I’m working at it as hard as ever – accomplishing things that I never thought possible.

My life has changed utterly since the last time I was on this site, but I’m going to make the best of it. Things will be different, not the original path at all, but a great life nonetheless. 4 months ago


quitejadedMy desk

Woke up this morning and realized that I should sell some of my books to 1/2 Priced books and I should get rid of my box of files and use a folio instead. It saves space. Considering I look at the files once every month or two, it makes sense.

I wish I can get to a point where I see these needs immediately instead of having to sleep on it. 6 months ago

Been going through my closet last night. Ain’t done! I have a lot of crappy dry cleaner hangers to recycle. 6 months ago


quitejadedGetting into a Selling & Donating habit

I’m starting to get in the habit of donating or selling things I do not use anymore. I take time to test the item to make sure I do not want it anymore and I get on ebay or sell it.

I want to be more consistent with this. 6 months ago

As an act of decluttering I have printed this on the bottom of the areas to declutter page on the wall. If I can use this as my mantra while I clean, perhaps progress. If it has negative energy, throw it away. 6 months ago

quitejadedMom says I have too much stuff

My mom says I have too much crap in my drawers. I took it to heart and little by little have been removing them. Returning clothes I think are ugly or appliances I do not use. Or selling items on ebay or giving things to my boyfriend, lol

Eventually, I should have just 1 of each item that I use on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. This includes food, beauty products, etc. And all my clothes will look nice and be well kept. This is my end goal. 6 months ago

she's afraid of the light in the darkI looked around the house/unit tonight

and I felt that everything was either useful or beautiful. The main issue was tidying and putting things away – but that didn’t take long. I feel that my house is how I want to be, and my boyfriend keeps his computer area tidy, the only place I have no say in, so … yeah. Goal accomplished!

she's afraid of the light in the darkthis is hard

I’ve minimised my possessions and I’m in the process of eliminating clutter, but I’m finding it really hard to really crystallise this goal. Or perhaps I have, I just don’t realise it?

Part of eliminating items was to make sure the only things I had were useful, and I kept some things which were beautiful to me. Right now, this is definitely a work in progess. It’s a part of integrating J’s things into the house, making sure neither of us have more than we need and want and use and appreciate, and so on. I guess I should go through the list of things in my house and decide whether they meet this goal.

The hardest thing is I see the word “beautiful” and the rest goes out the window – I feel everything should be beautiful, even though some practical things can’t be (like heaters and clothes horses and so on). So for now, I’m going to continue passing a critical eye over everything I see each day, making sure it’s in line with this. 8 months ago


she's afraid of the light in the darkmass de-clutter

I’m finishing semester this week, so I plan to spend the weekend going around the house, looking at each item and assessing it as per this. everything else will get put in a pile on the bed (I’ve done this since I was young; it means I can’t sleep until I’ve finished tidying!) and then assessed/sorted. I might put it in a box somewhere to check that I absolutely don’t need it, and then … yeah. we’ll see. 8 months ago
