Do you ever find your self accumualting a lot of stuff over time, some of which could be thrown out or is waiting to be used up or worn out? I do. Sometimes, I feel like it's a stumbling block against my being as organized as I ought to be.
Right now, I have more clothes than I can fit in my dresser, and a lot of it is too intact to get rid of. I also have a lot of lotions, perfumes, nail polishes, eyeshadows, etc. to use up. Very little of it is stuff that I have brought into my possession myself. Rather, it is often a contribution from someone in the family. I also have papers and mail I have collected that I maybe could throw away.
Using up, wearing out, or throwing out stuff of my own to create more "space" in my life is only one part of my "project".
There is also another part. I currently volunteer at one of the thrift stores in my hometown. Sometimes various displays, especially clothing racks and bookshelves, tend to get rather crowded. At various times, I will buy books from there (and any other place that sells used books) to free up shelf space. After that I will register them with Bookcrossing, read them, than release them to some random public place for someone else to find and enjoy.
So there you have it. I will be focusing on using up and wearing out things that I own (as I don't like to get rid of intact clothing or any leftover cosmetics or anything like that) and tossing out needless papers, empty containers, and clothing that has been worn down to the point of having holes and making my life a little more simple...maybe.
