The urgency makes my brain shut off sentimentality and emotionality. I got rid of so many cute/nice things that I honestly don’t think about anymore. I have one vintage strawberry mug i LOVE, why have another that I only like a lot?
Started out with donations I had planned and sorted but when it came down to the wire, we ended up putting everything on the porch for free and it was incredible how quickly everything was taken and rehomed. Very nice to have people get excited about getting a desk, microwave, whatever and the genuine gratitude. That strawberry mug? Our new neighbors snapped it up and said ā€are you SURE you don’t want this?!? it’s so cute!!ā€ Yep, that’s yours now, enjoy it!!!
still need to do this with clothes as that’s my fatal flaw but works with objects.

Moving is a nice time to make peace with one chapter of your life ending and a new one beginning. some of the stuff that Just Existed in your old place doesn’t necessarily have to come with you to the next place… you don’t have to throw things out if that’s scary, you can also donate them, give things to friends, or leave stuff in the hall!

loooooove getting rid of things i don’t use anymore………was borderline a hoarder for most of my life, but something shifted recently and i just wanna get rid of things…….a little tasteful clutter is nice, i’m by no means a minimalist, but i think i just reached a point where my things were overwhelming me instead of comforting me. doing my best now to crack down and get rid of anything that’s just collecting dust

spent all day tidying up my room and going through my closet and craft cart. filled up several bags of stuff i’m not using to sell/donate/post on Buy Nothing. i also reorganized my desk drawer to make it more conducive to letter writing instead of being glorified cable storage. i love figuring out the best layout to reduce annoyance and put the stuff i (want to) use most at my fingertips.
now i can see my floor again and i’m filled with peaceful anticipation of all the little crafts i hope to putter around with this year.
next task: decluttering my computer desktop 🄓
