What else should we add to the list?
ОтветитьOffice Supplies: you are absolutely correct. I'm a technologist but there wouldn't be enough room for my family in the home if we kept every 'spare cable', pen, or office junk. Just throw it out. If you want to make a buck copper (in the cableing) is always worth something if you have enough. For me it's too much hassle, but there are dollars in them thar bins.
ОтветитьRE: Baby items, sure. But keep that one hand made blanket that still smells a ilttle like them when they were small.
RE: Other toys, be very careful what you chuck out. I saved LEGO from when I was a kid, then passed them on with new sets to my youngest, who passed all of them on to the next generation. Some toys just are forever. Yes, be choosy, but don't throw out the gems. My mother passed on to me an original copy of Alice in Wonderland that her mother had as a child before her. There are just certain 'old' things which are timeless and will provide joy to every child.
Re photos: Create a slideshow for your computer wallpaper of all your favorite family album content. You can even convert a smart tv or computer screen to display a slideshow of these and your favorite collection pictures. Put it in a frame like artwork, or just let it play, like ambient lighting in a cozy living space, den or home office.
Pro-Tip: If you're going to destroy the originals be absolutely sure to MAKE A BACK COPY OF THAT STORAGE, and keep it off-site, away from the home if there is even the remotest chance of severe weather or other natural disaster that would permanently eliminate all sentimental memories.
Sure you don't need that photo of great grandma when she was 31 at the world's fair, or the kids first days of school, but when you suddenly find yourself that age too isn't it nice to have a reference to where you're from, or your kids have children the same age, and how the family is moving forward.
Cars: One is None.
If your primary fails there are few places in the entire United States where you can walk to public transportation, shop, or work. Make that 'husband' vehicle something fun for weekends or special occasions. Older used vehicles cost far less to ensure, and the oldest among them can be self-maintained easily. They can be fun, colorful and quirky. Make sure it's good enough to get the family around safely for a few days while you wait for that bank-owned primary to come back from the shop.
Expecting that on-line car manual to be there for you during an breakdown is wildly optimistic, but you're correct in that they're less often necessary. Our dealership gave us the paper manual, but also a copy on a USB thumb drive, which also had the smartphone friendly USB-C adapter.
Trust me, speaking from intense experience.
For reusable bags, keep a small school backpack stuffed with them neatly folded inside, right in the trunk of your car. When they come up to the house fit the emptied bags into one of them, and then return them back to the car next time you go out. It's great to not get so many plastic bags, and if they're even slightly dirty throw them away. You'll get more. Stores up-charging for plastic is a realy thing coming soon, so don't get rid of more reusables than can fit unobtrusively in your car.
PS: The bag I keep reusables in the car matches the interior, so they ride without visually cluttering the car, and empties weigh almost nothing.
I do keep a weeks worth of clothes. I only want to do laundry one a week so that works for me. I do keep clothes per season but def decluttering before packing a season. I do keep more socks because I am a Nike tennis shoes girl and have no issues with foot help more need pedicures really. I don’t invest in nail care really other than nail clippers. The work that I do prevents that a little and I break probably 2 per week so why waste time and money. Maybe in retirement in about 5-7 years then yeah maybe on the latter. I do scrapbook so there’s that problem but I have decluttered a bunch. I don’t have a room for it but it is exposed in the living/dining area so I do have to manage it but that’s worth it to me for how much joy it does bring me. I recently went through my makeup and got rid of most of it except the ones I love, feel good in and actually use on a regular basis. I have decluttered probably at least 50 percent of my stuff or at least I think. There is more to go but I am working on it. I don’t plan minimalism but plan to be not far above it though. I just want to be able to manage what I do have and love what I do have and enjoy it because I know I have it…
ОтветитьYeah your clothes thing, wrong, try 1 year. 180 days is a mere 2 seasons there are 4 seasons. You mustn't live in a place like me where summers are 100+ and winters are 0 and below
ОтветитьWhy are supplements in a separate category from food. They are just food.
ОтветитьI recently did Swedish Death Cleaning and got rid of half the stuff I own... Haven't regretted anything yet. I know some of these comments disagree with some of your list, but as someone who lived with hoarding parents, and anxiety and depression from waking up to clutter, I NEED to get rid of most of the stuff you've mentioned. To each their own. And you don't even have to go all out either, just starting small changes will help. For me, i went 50% and it was the best decision ever. It's videos like these that keep me motivated to keep a minimal, clutter free life. That's what works best for my mental health. Thanks so much for being bold and sharing this video especially in a consumerism society. We don't really need nor use everything we own and it's okay to part ways with them and create your own safe space and happiness ✨️
Ответитьwhere do you get the baking soda bucket???

ОтветитьLook forward to spring as a time when you can start to see what nature has to offer once again.
