After talking last week about using what you have, Shannon and Janine turn this week to letting go of stuff as an alternative to using it up. We even innovate a new monthly activity during the episode!
Discussion topics include:
• Some terminology for letting stuff go (for example, “release it” and “pass it along”)
• The value of figuring out language that makes it easy for you to let stuff go
• How indecision can lead to clutter
• Avoiding perfectionism when donating items
• Trusting that your donated item will find a good home
• Letting go of stuff while others can still use them
• The up and down cycle of clearing a space and then filling it up again
• Some strategies for keeping a clear clothes closet
• Introducing Closet Curation Sunday (on the last Sunday of the month)
• The three things Janine hears from clients about why they don’t want to let stuff go (and her responses)
• The importance of knowing why it’s important to you to let something go
• The question Shannon’s asking herself in dealing with her email inbox: “Is keeping this worth having to deal with it in the future?”
