I think it's more an aversion to cleaning. LOL

Then when I do get cleaning, I get distracted by magazines and stuff.

I live a long way from a city with any kind of donation place, so I procrastinate on putting stuff in the car to have ready when I am in town.

I don't really hoard stuff so much as just never get around to cleaning. I didn't get the dust and vacuum gene. I don't know why I need to hang on to magazines that I don't even read. Like, I somehow got a subscription to Home. I never subscribed but it's been showing up for three years. They sent me a sample copy, I canceled it, but it still keeps coming. It's mostly for owners, not renters - focuses on remodeling and stuff. Why don't I go run them down to the two laundomats to replace the magazines that are like 5 years old? I'm sure the laundrymat regulars would appreciate some new reading material.

I've even tried the "cut out just the articles you want and file them" trick. They never make it to a file. If they do make it to a file, they never get read.

Besides, with the Internet and info readily available, is it even necessary to clip articles or buy the darn things in the first place?
