I had been using this as a checklist, but only marked off one. However, I’m happy to say this was the beginning of major shifts in my possessions, and I’ve working this whole time on this.
Clothes: I wanted clear drawers so nothing was hidden from view; I hang most of my clothes, something that took me several decades to figure out, due to not having closests… consistently. Hangers are a surprising sign of stability.
Packaging: I’m much better at this. Packaging geta recycled quickly, and now I’m learning what to do with the manuals that come with them.
Swag: I don’t accept anything from anyone, de facto. I am swag free.
Games: I used to have a ton of board games, and I put them in a library box or have them away. Most of them never even opened. Now I play playing card games, and download games on the Switch. No more storage taken by games.
Hardware: just earlier this week Susan dropped off a trunk full of ewaste I’d been holding onto because it was a lot and I didn’t know where to take it. Included a large tower PC, and a monitor, and several laptops that no longer work. I still have a lot of hardware, but I’m using (or trying to) it all.
Cables: included on ewaste.
Boxes of notebooks and paperwork: haha, isn’t this a bit meta! This is certainly part of that process, and as you can see, I still have quite a few notebooks to go…
Bags: ah, dang, that was the hard part! My bag game has been top notch over the years… but I got rid of all my sling bags and backpacks except for two: a Jack Spade bag put together so well, I won’t part with it, and a simple, two-pocket backpack from IKEA. Since then I’ve added a carry-on and bum bag from Away, and the orange bum bag is basically an extension of my body at this point.
I’ve added very few things to my inventory, that wasn’t replacing an existing item. That decision was a good one.
Huh, I wonder when I started noting “time roster”. It’s a take on time travel that is sorta gamified, but still has interesting affects. I think of it as a roleplay framework.
This particular note means: when someone traveling insequentially thru time, things stated tl have happened become self-fufilling. It’s one version of time travel, a genre I think explores different ways humans think about the world.
I like the color and paper, but I process all my notes, and this design irritates me with the bits of paper it produces when pulling sheets from it. I prefer glued spines for easily pulling off the sheets when needed.
