#preventing clutter

[stackyardnotes]

Bins on the floor crowd the path and block the door. Every day, tools and toys spill into walkways—no one notices until it jams. Lift them up: gear hangs clear, and the yard opens back up. Rethink wall storage so tools and gear stay off the ground and out of the way. It’s a simple change that clears the path and makes yard resets faster. Organize your space for real daily routine help at the wall. http://www.stacknest.myshopify.com

Entry 49

As we prepare our home for the 3rd resident, I find myself battling the endless stream of "things you ABSOLUTELY NEED for your new baby" and the often contradictory rebuttal listicles of "what things are absolutely necessary and what is just a gimmick?".

Almost all articles of the first sort have a commercial element (affiliate links, or published by a corpo with an obvious agenda to sell equipment), and the ones of the second sort are anecdotal. I also ask family and friends, but naturally, their advice is anecdotal too.

My mother is a bit superstitious. She's a big believer in not actually buying/borrowing anything for a baby until it's born screaming. With our shared history of pregnancy loss, I definitely get where she's coming from, and so I'm taking my sweet time sifting through the info and trying to figure out what I want to get, even down to the specific model (where applicable). Just as importantly, I'm taking the time to figure out what I don't want to get.

It takes a lot of reading along the lines and between the lines to understand why a certain product is deemed "necessary" or "frivolous" by a blogger/writer/relative. Is it necessary for little one's safety (e.g a car seat)? Is it convenient? Does it claim to be convenient but actually create a new problem for itself to solve? Is it convenient, but the "the hard way" has benefits that are too significant to ignore? How different is my lifestyle from that of the person giving me advice, will I benefit from the same things? Was this advice given by someone with or without pets? (It makes a difference! My cats live in the house too and need to be accounted for.) It all sounds daunting when I write it out like this, but the truth is I think I have a grasp on what will be coming into the house and what won't. I'm always open to changing my mind as life kicks my plans in the teeth, but I'd rather go more minimal at first and then get more things as needed - it's easier than trying to get rid of things that turned out to be useless.

And in any case I forbade my family and friends from gifting me noisy, flashing electronic toys. I can handle crying and screaming, I can handle babbling, i can handle the sound of a child banging pots and pans together, I cannot handle the mindless repetition of a tinny pre-recorded sound sample.

Peace and Love.
