Ten ways to turn commodities into experiences
Don't let the stuff we own begin to own us.
Stare not into the clutter, for the clutter shall stare back into you.
1. Sell your junk on ebay to turn it into an "experience" fund.
2. Each time that you think about eating out, cook food and contribute that fund.
3. Take a daily 30 minute cell phone break.
4. Find a person that needs used clothing and donate it to them directly.
5. Take old electronics, put a meaningful quote on the screen, and leave them in a public place.
6. Have nostalgic crap? Take a picture, write a story about what makes it special, and throw it out in a ritual cleanse.
7. Work with family elders to digitize photos and write a short paragraph for each picture.
8. Stop eating, fast for a few days. Wander the streets and smell the many scents of the city.
9. Find clutter, refurbish it, and give it as a gift to a loved one.
10. Or turn clutter into an art project, like this trex made of purses.
