I'm "giving myself permission" to fill a medium garbage bag, not taking the time to sort, puzzle over things.

Don't judge me please :?

well, that didn't work out like I hoped.

I was thinking, bag, and fill

Sadly I still "looked" at stuff and thought about it.



My hope was to get random stuff out

I will try again.

I would find it very hard to not look at things when I put them into the donation bag. But what is working for me is to put the donation bag/box in my car and donate it ASAP. That prevents me from going through the items and second guessing myself and “saving” them.

You can do it, IC!

I found the receipt from my current laptop computer and went to put it with the documentation - of which there was very little. I did find printouts of my online order for my old desktop (now long gone) ordered in 2000. There were also many restoration disks and disks for Office 2000 etc. Also I found documentation for my old HP printer which is long gone. So that was a good clean out.

Will do some shredding today, and start a new bag of items to be taken to the second hand stores for donation. Right now just a few bits and bobs are leaving the house. I am more in a use it up mode right now.

More shredding done, and I decluttered my phone and computer. I got rid of old texts, put photo's in folders, and got rid of emails that are no longer needed. Now I need to work on my desk drawers, and the top of the desk.
