Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

How has the uncluttering gone this weekend?

I have barely been home, so while I haven't been uncluttering, at least I haven't been making things (much) worse. Yesterday I helped a friend sort through clothing and shoes -- a couple of items had to be thrown out, and several others went in to a bag for a clothes swap. I came home with a hoodie for Youngest, a pair of runners for me, and some chocolate. Useful having friends who are similar sizes!

But as the other thing I did yesterday was buy better skates, I have been reminded (as I am every year) that there are dance and skate items stashed that need to be rehomed. I'd really like to get those dealt with this year

I could probably double the number of departing volumes if I added the Nora Roberts collection. They're exceedingly cisallohet and I'm not convinced she's ever written a character of color in her life, but—especially with the fantasy trilogies—she's an Influence on my writing and she writes nommy braincandy.

Am I ever going to read these again or not?

???

(Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar, similar question!)

Is it worth putting the Roberts (and the Lackey?) books in a bag as if they are ready to go, putting them somewhere, and then putting a reminder in your calendar of choice that if you haven't looked at them in [time period] you get rid of them? If, in that time period, you decide that they are important to keep, you need to find shelf space for them.

Another question -- do you have something that needs the shelf space that you would rather keep? Or can you find something else that takes up that much shelf space that you would rather get rid of than those specific books?

[alexseanchai]

Generally speaking, yes. If I intend to put them in the UUCD spring auction, there isn't really time for that?

Maaaaaybe? I haven't gone through all the boxes or all the shelves yet.

Ah, I hadn't allowed for time crunch. :{

Maybe what comes out of the other boxes will help with that decision?
