Reduce Clutter; De-Consume
From TipThePlanet
- Try putting things you can live without in boxes and put the boxes in the attic or basement for six months. Then re-open the boxes and keep what you missed.....give the rest away as gifts, or hold a garage sale. Then try this formula - for every new thing that comes in, one old thing goes out.
- Or put an expiry date on items when you can't decide to keep them or not. Get rid of them when the expiry date arrives.
- Start a tool share with neighbors for tools which may not be used too often - lawn mower, power saw, compressor, ladder, paint sprayer etc. Fewer things to buy, and store, for everyone. Swap or trade for goods and services if possible, to save on the manufacture of new goods and packaging, and of course the taxes.
- Conquer your clutter with the Declutter Workbook and think about your true intention for a room or space in your home.
