Move it on over

I’m going to move this over to another similar goal…once I hit 43 items! LOL
How to downsize my possessions
It made me 
How I did it: I didn't really finish this, but I hit my #43, so I moved it over to a similar goal. I listed six years because that at least as long as I've been getting rid of stuff. (And getting other stuff!! LOL)

Everytime I move
12 months ago
Every time a wife kicks me out…no, I mean every time I move! LOL I get rid of some stuff. I have to go make a trip to pick up the stuff in my storage unit ASAP, but…
Most of what I still own is tools and other resources. Toss in electronics, books, music, and clothes, and that’s the bulk of the rest.
I recently thought I should get rid of everything I don’t need in order to serve God. That would probably get rid of a good chunk of my technology books.
I’m looking at selling off a chunk of the LP portion of my music collection, though I don’t think I could get half of their value at the small local music store that sells vinyl. I also have some comics that I will try to trade for back issues of the two titles I still like to read, all these years later. I have years to catch up on! LOL Guess what they are?
Incidentally, I can store almost everything I own in a 5×10 storage unit. So I’m not doing bad for a recovered packrat! LOL If I stopped working with my hands and sold all my tools, I would be down to half of my stuff. If I gave up on ever working in technology again, I could probably get rid of another 10%.
The question is, does God have a use for my knowledge or my hands, or does He want me to work with people?
Making progress but still a long way to go...

The storage unit had to go due to financial issues. It no longer made sense to store things I wasn’t using and had no immediate plans to use. I had a great yard sale and donated quite a few items. I spend a significant amount of time sorting my stuff, moving my stuff, debating which stuff can go. Somedays I just want to throw it all out :P
Moving is so much easier now....

Just throw it away if:
you haven’t thought about it in 2 years
you haven’t worn it in 2 years
you have other things you like or want to buy more than it
you’ll be happier.
Too Much Stuff!!!
2 years ago
A bedroom, a storage unit, and a corner of the dining room…Piles of stuff. I probably use less than 20% of it regularly. I have an odd sort of envy for people who can move all their possessions in their car in just one trip.
