Random things I'm glad to be getting rid of
Bad weather = an opportunity to clean cabinets, closets and junk drawers and get rid of things that I forgot I even owned. Less "stuff" = less stress...
1. Allen wrenches that come with bookcases and other types of "assembly required" furniture
I had dozens of them...
2. Leftover screws, nuts, bolts, etc... from past projects
Not even one time have I ever said "oh hey that leftover bracket from that shelf I hung up two years ago would be a perfect fit for this new thing I'm trying to do..."
3. Broken lamps and appliances that I thought I was going to fix one day
Never gonna happen...
4. Old, outdated electronics
I can still hear myself saying "you never know... I might still want to use this one day..." right before sticking it in a drawer and forgetting about it five years ago...
5. T-shirts, caps, pens, etc with logos on them.
I have no idea what makes "free giveaway" stuff so enticing....
6. Old name tags and lanyards
I used to save these because I thought that having a record of all the "cool" conferences and events I went to gave me some type of status. As I've gotten older I've started to notice that they really just look like a bunch of corporate bullshit...
7. Old power cables
They're always tangled together and never the right size for whatever device I need to charge anyway.
8. Tools that I bought for one specific purpose years ago and no longer have a use for
I either threw away the thing I was trying to fix or did such a good job of fixing it that the tool I used is now useless.
9. Fancy silverware and dishes that I haven't used in years
...and I honestly don't remember ever using them... My friends just aren't "fancy" enough to care about the kinds of dishes I serve their meals on when they come to visit me...
10. Whatever this thing is...
Your guess is as good as mine...
