Mid-week uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

Which of your uncluttering goals have you progressed so far this week?

I have been weeding email, which has built up some while I have not had a working computer. Another two days at this rate will see me at zero, if no more comes in....

I have also been eyeing off the books on my bedside table, and wondering whether abandoning unread and then donating might be better for some of them than forcing myself to get through them. I guess I'll go for 'anything not read by the end of August' will leave the house, assuming I've read at least that many other books in the time (which looks likely)

Some stuff went in the trash. And a Space Camp patch I've apparently been saving for like twenty years went in the yard sale box.

Ugh why does packing to move have to be so PHYSICAL?

Progress!

And I hear you on how much moving sucks. I hate it so much I don't ever want to do it again (and at least at this point in my life I think that might be almost feasible). But I moved at least ten times in my 20s, each time with More Stuff, not less.

Another DVD or two (I'm losing track of how many in relation to each post here!). Some out of date items from the kitchen and another bottle of shower gel used up. Also discussed with a family member whether their kids might have use for some of my no longer needed files and dividers for new school year. The answer was a potential yes, so I shall arrange a potential selection for them to browse through and pick from.

Actually, being honest, the DVDs haven't yet left the house, they're just making it into bags/boxes depending on the intended destinations and when I might have time to get to said destinations.

I love that you are surely but steadily working through the DVDs -- that at each report you've gone through another number. And the getting them out the house is the lesser part of the job though, surely? Making All Those Decisions, on the other hand...

I sent some knitted things to cousins, gave away some outgrown little kid sandals, and recycled a bunch of work stuff. I think I've decided on two more shirts to give away. Oh, and I donated a bunch of wool caps I made to a local homeless outreach. I'd been storing them since March or something. Time to keep those moving to those who need them.
