Last month, I moved to a new house, and in the process of packing, organizing, discarding, or carrying my belongings, I suddenly discovered a real question: do we really need so many things?
With the acceleration of the pace of life and the limited living space, streamlining life has gradually become a trend. I decided that after moving to a new home, I would resolutely practice "breaking away", throwing away what should be thrown away, giving away what should be given away, and no longer hoarding some useless things.
1. Ill-fitting clothing
There are always a few pieces of ill-fitting clothes in the wardrobe at home, some of which have not been worn a few times at all, and are still ninety percent new.
But the reality is that body shapes and tastes are constantly changing. The existence of these clothes, in addition to taking up space, is actually of no value to you at all.
In fact, ill-fitting clothes can be dealt with like this:
(1) Pack and donate to people in need through public welfare organizations, which can not only dedicate love, but also allow the clothes to continue to play their value;
(2) Give it to relatives and friends, maybe they will wear it appropriately;
(3) Transform into a variety of other useful things, such as transforming jeans into a bag full of personality.
2. Waste data cables
I dare say that almost everyone can find a bunch of unwanted waste data cables in their home, either mobile phones, computers, or other electronic products.
But to be honest, stock up on a bunch of data cables, and only use two or three in the end.
I'm only keeping the most commonly used ones, and I'm throwing away all the ones that don't match or are damaged. In this way, there are many drawers in the house,
3. Bottles and cans
When it comes to bottles and cans, this is a typical representative of "collectors", especially those good-looking bottles and cans, who are reluctant to throw away.
But these empty bottles are really of little use except to take up space.
I've learned now that I can keep a few for flower arrangement, and throw away the rest when I'm done with them, or sell them to scrap collectors. This is not only environmentally friendly, but also frees up a lot of space in the home.
Fourth, shopping tote bags
I don't know if you have such a habit: but as time goes by, these bags become more and more, and few are actually used.
In fact, it is best to develop a good habit and bring your own eco-friendly bag when shopping, which is practical and does not take up space.
Besides, if you already have it at home, make good use of it, or transform it into other useful things, such as pen holders, storage boxes, tissue boxes, etc.
Fifth, cartons
The cardboard box is a big lifesaver when moving, but it is usually a debris pile gatherer.
I've now learned that except for the few necessary ones to keep in reserve, everything else is packed up and sold to the scrapyard in time.
6. Take-out tableware
I used to be a food delivery expert, and every time I ordered takeout, there were a lot of tableware, such as plastic spoons, disposable chopsticks, and those small packages of paper towels, I habitually stuffed them into the drawer, thinking that they would be useful when they were useful
Renunciation is not only a way of life, but also an attitude to life. By reducing unnecessary hoarding, we can make our homes tidier and our lives simpler.
