I'm also thinking about whether holding on to stuff that I might need/want again, is about pride.
It makes me feel really good to come up with a use case for an item I've hung on to for the longest time. For me, there might be a bit of vanity involved in hoarding lots of things. So clever to come up with uses!
I might consider how specialist an item is (and #declutter), and keep multi-purpose items. Some kitchen gadgets are the worst in that way. I probably thought it would make me cook more?!

Bialumbo looked at a drawer full of “just in case” stuff—old cables, expired spices, random junk.

He realized: Those moments rarely come.
So he let go.

Now?
Less clutter. More calm.
Because freedom starts with one small choice to release.

What are you holding onto “just in case”?

We're starting our process of what we keep versus what we move to a new house. We're #Downsizing, which means we have extra couches, beds, dressers, etc. Once we actually put an offer on a new house, ideally, in the next 2 weeks, we'll have a better idea of what has to go. Currently, we are cleaning out cupboards and building inventory for a garage sale in May, a month before our closing. We've got a few puzzles to sell.

Why do I have no free table space in my office? Maybe it's because I have parts and tools sitting out for

- 10 active projects (activity in the last seven days)
- 4 inactive projects
- 12 projects I haven't started
- 4 finished projects I haven't put away

I think for the rest of the week (3 days) my goal is to finish, put away, or abandon and clean up as many projects as possible.

I'm doing a "1-In / 3-Out" thing for a while to trim down my stuff.

* For every new thing, get rid of 3.
* Don't have to be the same size. Goal is a reduction in number of things, not mass.
* Handful of little stuff is "1 thing" out. Prompts to toss old receipts, dry erasers, etc.
* 2 empty "in case" boxes count as 1 thing out.
* A "collection" is 1-thing. "1 collection of pens"

* I have a little notebook dedicated the process
