Clearly I cannot pack everything now or I will be living out of Boxes for weeks, but I can start sorting. That is always the part that takes time because if it were easy, we would have parted with our crap long ago. I have decided to set three goals.
So I have to goal to fill two bags with trash. There are a few rules:
1. My regular day to day trash goes in the regular trash sothat I can see how much I have sorted out and don't end up ''Faking it''. I want to see what I have manged to part with.
2. This cannot be donated because it is so very worn or it is gross.
My next goal is to fill a large Bag with clothing for donation. I am currently halfway there! But I am going to take everything out of my drawers and off my clothing rack to pick carefully what I will keep and what someone else can make more use of than I can.
Last, but not least. I am a big fan of Paper. I collect paper, and magazines, and cutouts, and postcards. I use them for crafty projects and to decorate my room, so clearly, I cannot simply get rid of all of it but I have put a fair bit of effort into reducing the volume. Most magazines are filled with pages I know I won't use and many of them I have already read all that interested me; so I've gone through many of the magazines and simply torn out the pages I want to keep and then recycled the rest. The magazines that contain recipes, and that I flip through several times I have kept and packed into a box. This bit is less a problem of not wanting to part with something and more a tedious process, but when I brought out my paper recycling, it was all worth it.
Those are my two cents for today. Until next time!
