Today’s declutter tip/quote/mindset:
Getting rid of perfectly good items may seem wasteful, but that’s not where we went wrong. It was wasteful to purchase it. Now we are just acknowledging it.
It would be wasteful now to keep it from being useful.
🚨🚨 209 Republicans sent a letter to Pelosi demanding she allow investigations into the Wuhan lab.
Dems haven't held a hearing on it.
Big Tech censored posts about it.
The media attacked people who talked about it.
China can't get away with this.

I’ve been encouraging my husband to let the kids have some of the bigger tools/farm stuff if they can use it. They would get the use of it now and we can always borrow it back if we need it. But its just taking up space in the barn/garage and he’s not using it much anymore.
I think the hard part is making up your mind that you really aren’t going to use something enough to warrant keeping it. We’ve used it in the past, so we keep thinking we’re going to keep using it. But when you figure out you haven’t used it in the past x/months/years, the chances of using it in the future goes way down. Release it so others who can use it and would be excited to have it can enjoy it.
It’s nice when you can chuck a bunch out at once and see the space open up, but I remind myself that it came in one bag at a time and can leave that way as well.
WASTEFUL ITEMS...
My husband and I used to go to K-Mart to shop the blue light specials when we were dating. That tells you something. LOL
