Please don't trash your clutter

It's a new year, it's a new you, it's a new time to declutter your stuff.

And, hooray for you, you made it! You now have a pile of stuff that you want to get rid of.

Please, please, PLEASE. Don't trash it if it's still usable.

I see so many people on tumblr and around who are proud of the pile of pens, clothes, pillows, dishes etc. that are leaving their houses. And you should be proud. It takes a lot to declutter a space.

But the pen and notebooks might help a child having an education. Blankets, even with a small hole or stains, might be a life saver for an homeless person in winter. Clothes or shoes that are too small or too big can fit someone else. Even old books might entertain someone or help them learn your language.

No matter where you live, I'm sure there are poor people and association trying to help them.

If you don't want to donate, try selling the stuff you want to get rid of. Decluttered space AND money is a total win win situation. Try Craigslist, eBay, or whatever nationwide website works in your country. (For France, it's leboncoin).

New you can help others fellow humans and the planet we are all living on. Thanks.

My name is Denika Brown and this is #MyZipNStory. I work with tiny beads to create some really cool artwork. Instead of digging through my bucket of beads every time I want to make something, now I pull out my zip n store and all my color are neatly organized and ready to go. #artsandcraftsday #craftsy #craftstorage #declutter #decluterring

I'm at my parents house for the weekend. I took the time this morning to declutter the t-shirts left here. Yes, I have clothes at my parents place so I don't have to take a full backpack with me when I go.

I had 19 t-shirts left in this house. I don't come here for more than a week anymore. So that was too much.

As I already said it, I don't believe in decluttering with joy or whatever. I have a harsh cold number approach.

A week stay, taking my clumsiness into account, means I need 9 t-shirts. Now how did I choose them? Well, I'm mostly here for manual work (gardening, painting, cleaning etc) so I needed at least 4 confy work t-shirts that can get dirty and are easy to clean. I also needed 2 fancy t-shirts for when there's a special occasion in the countryside. And that left me 3 random t-shirts for everyday life, grocery shopping etc.

I split the t-shirts into these categories (work, fancy, the rest). For work, the main category, I excluded everything that was too tight, small or already deeply used. For fancy, the fewest category, I excluded everything that can show sweat (bye bright pink that turns deep purple when I am at a garden party). For the rest, I excluded some that were too small, with teen punk messages, or honestly ugly.

In the end, I know have 10 t-shirts left (I know, that's one more than necessary). The others will be donated.

Daily Prompt: Delayed Wardrobe Detox

What have you been putting off doing? Why? Ah, the task I’ve been dreading for months now. 🙄 I need to go through my clothes that I haven’t used in the last five years. I can’t believe it’s been that long! In the past, I tackled a batch of clothes that I hadn’t touched in the last ten years and gave away most of it. I only kept a few items with sentimental value. I know, there I go again with…

I started a big unf*ckening of our bedroom cupboard. It's mostly books, magazines, cables, diy stuff, jewelry, cards, papers, USB keys, and other stuff like that.

So far, I've dealt with the two shelves of books. Around ten books are leaving us, either to be donated or sold. I also trashed old school papers.

I am now waiting for the boyfriend to wake up from his nap to continue with my diy mess and jewelry. A lot of beads, fimo projects, pompoms and others. Since I have to put what was in a drawer in the living room as well on this shelf, it will probably require a lot of sacrifice. But it's needed.

Soooo. I started some decluttering. So far I've been through clothes (the easiest part for me) and there is a garbage bag full of children clothes that will make another family happy.

I'm also parting with one t-shirt, one jacket, two pants and one sweater in my garde-robe. Maybe a dress as well if it doesn't come clean from the washing machine. My clothes are not in very good condition so I will put them in a textile bin unless someone wants them from our neighborhood.

Next will come the difficult kitchen, which requires a lot of negotiating with the boyfriend because that's his kingdom. But he is borderline hoarder, so some things need to go.

And then books, if the place where I sell them has reopen.

Pre-Decluttering

Akhir minggu yang lalu nampaknya aku lumayan punya lebihan waktu dan energi hingga menyempatkan diri untuk decluttering tipis-tipis. Memilah baju anakku saja sih, tidak muluk-muluk bukan?

Salah satu alasan untuk memilah baju anak lebih dulu karena memang lemarinya yang sudah tidak muat jika dimasukkan baju lagi, dan sepertinya tidak perlu banyak effort untuk permulaan melakukan decluttering.…
