I’ve been hardcore into getting rid of my mountains of stuff. I’ve been selling just a ton of stuff on eBay from yo-yos, clothes, watches, and whatever else I’ve been collecting for the past 10 years. Wondering if anyone else has felt the need to minimize lately?
i have like 100+ throws and I’ve really felt like I could reduce that number in half and be happy.
concurrence. i’ve been acquiring a handful of throws, but moving others at about the same rate. i’ve also been selling random items on ebay… i just have to get my wife on board with sizing down some of our ‘family heirlooms’. same thing with kiddo’s pokemon and lego, but he has no interest in parting with them.
Been getting rid of stuff for sure. But not yoyos! I’m actually kind of trying to make space for more yoyos… I just don’t feel the need to be rid of any of the ones I have, they’re all unique or special in some way. Theres a handful that I may be tempted to trade away for the right exchange but I’ve been prioritizing my physical objects and yoyos are a high priority. My closet has 5 hooks with just yoyo strings and another 6 packs of unopened bulk string.
My garage is so wrecked right now. Everything is around the perimeter. But, I moved half of it to one side, and left nothing on the other side. I’m selling/giving away/trashing half of the stuff that was in there. It was a car in the middle, with work stations around the perimeter. Soon it’ll be a car on one half, and a little shop on the other. However, I might need to take a moment of silence after tossing out the garage couch. RIP old friend. Legends never die.
On Monday I plan to Spring Clean and get back to fixing my habits after a long four months of not being sober.
I finally have energy to do things again it’s great. Room’s a bloody mess though, but sometimes life is about not taking things so seriously, but seriously enough to do it. I will take out a big table and have room to start my bf’s hobby (we’re hobby swapping!! Him and his DDR, and me and yoyoing! ) and to finally yoyo in my room while blasting the normal existential doomer music that gets me feeling all happy in life lmao.
Spring and Summer has always been super special to me. It was a time of getting away from the painful cold and to summer hobbies and fun from childhood. Away from school to playing Pokemon on the old Gameboy with a battery that was damaged so it never could save. Those were the days.
Once I can feel that spring breeze even just once, it will be time to start another amazing year (it’s still cold and snowy in Canada, warming up though)
Spring is a time I feel we all can leave behind dead baggage and habits. So.. it’s time for new baggage and habits! Get out there and start worsening yourself hahaha! But for real, try to find something youre not happy with this Spring and work on it. It’s time for pleasant winds to come back and good times to return after a long Winter. Cheers!
Spring cleaning at work, spring cleaning at home…At home, landscaping stuff and home improvement stuff, painting…at work, getting a warehouse of lighting and audio equipment organized. Both tiring…
Trying to. Procrastination is getting the best of me. I have stuff that I took pictures of to sell last year (and maybe even the year before) on craigslist and marketplace but still haven’t done it. I told myself It’s ACTUALLY going to get done this year, this month.. I’m trying to make it a priority this week.
My workshop is full on overrun with stuff I can barely move in there and I gotta get stuff out so I can re do it a bit. I started in September with a lumber rack, that gave me some floor space back but it also took up a TON of wall space that had pegboard w/ stuff all over it. Now all that stuff is piled up in boxes. In. The. Way.
I have some stuff of my Dad’s when he passed that I can’t really utilize, like a 20 gallon air compressor on wheels, it’s always in the way, the motor is great but the tank is questionable. I don’t trust it. I have a bunch of radio equipment (cb, antenna voltage regulators and custom made stuff ) that was my grandpas that I acquired when he passed. I also have his air compressor (a 1950s sears roebuck compressor w/ separate tank and my own compressor that I already had that I am constantly having to move or trip over. Two band saws, giant table saw I bought a year and a half ago and have only used it 1 time. 4 3d printers, and gobs of other stuff.
I’ll get it done eventually… I think LOL!
I need to stop taking on projects. That’s my main problem. I have been slowly restoring a 1970s Wheel Horse tractor, while needing to mow with it so it keeps getting stuff half done, then dirty, then needing a cleaning, more painting and re-working, replacing parts, more mowing, etc. etc.
