Music junkie, I found that I would gather a bunch of stuff for Goodwill and then let it sit so long that I would paw through the box again and take out half the stuff before I loaded it in my car... and then do the same thing four months later when I finally moved it from my car to the donation bin. Tossing right into the trash, the night before trash day, is the way to go
I just want to stop that pattern. The amount of time I spend deciding whether or not to toss something is ridiculous. I've read that we only have a finite number of decisions we can make during the day - I don't want to waste them on this stuff.
Does anyone else complicate things to the point where you just don't do them? I have a set of dishes that I don't really want. I could sell the set for enough $$ that it's worth my while to take it to a consignment/antique shop... but whenever I think about doing that, I think about how I could find a bunch of other stuff to take there and just combine it all into one trip... which I never do, so I never make the trip at all.
I did put the kindle and the RAM in the trash and recycled some random junk under the couch. I put the step on the front porch but didn't do anything with the french presses. I also vacuumed one room (didn't I just do that?)... and did more dishes and more laundry.
Typing in the items I am struggling with actually helps because it reminds me how absurd this is.
Hankster, definite pass on cleaning if your neck is hurt. I hope it is feeling better by now!
