2022 Decluttering Support and Motivation - Page 5

fanofladyvols · 02-08-22, 07:20 PM

I lost a couple of hours of my life deleting emails, closing open browser tabs, and deleting thread subscriptions. The tabs were the most productive use of my time because I took down notes of the recipes I had used and want to use again. But gahhh, I dread this decluttering because you don't really "see" any less clutter...but clutter for me it is.

Hi all!

I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag. I'm dealing with the "D" word (and, I don't mean "Diet.")

I am moving into an apartment - just me and my kitties - in a few weeks.

I've lost count of the things I've donated or tossed. We haven't put the house up for sale yet, so I can take more time to choose what to save, donate or toss.

Big changes for my little brain!

Sorry to hear about the big changes in your life, Alta. Wishing you the best with the move and everything else!

Fanofladyvols, I have challenges with virtual declutter too. For one thing, the volume accumulated just sneaks up on me. I'm especially bad at bookmarking pages and saving youtube clips. I did delete about 15-20 youtube clips the other day but it's still a small dent.

Vintage Vfer, hope things go smoothly for your move and big changes. Wishing you the best!

I'm sorry you've got so much to cope with!

Hugs and sympathy to you.

I'm so sorry, Alta!

Hope your move goes smoothly.

Alta, I am so very sorry. Best wishes for your move.

I have the owner of a record store that my husband was friendly with coming today to see if he wants to buy any of my husband's cds my son and I don't want and the leftover inventory of what we sold on Amazon. This just sucks...
I am not opening our seller account again. I would have to change it to my name which would mean losing years of feedback and relisting everything. It's too much to deal with.

The record store guy visit was a bust. He did not want any cds. He did want a bunch of vinyl, but the price he would pay was ridiculous. I told him I would think about it, but I'm not taking his offer. I don't know if he thought I was the naive and clueless wife, but I know the value of vinyl, especially sealed. His offer was an absolute insult.

Sherry, I'm sorry you're having to do this and that the guy didn't offer you a fair deal. I hope you can find a good option. Hugs!
