How do you handle stuff in your home?
(lemmy.world)
I personally use it and excuse to sell, donate, or dispose of stuff I have no use for.
It's the perfect time to do it as you're going through everything anyway, I literally did it last November when I moved out of my last apartment.
I think I'm pretty ok at getting rid of stuff, but equally good at getting more things. I'd like to avoid it this time around
Then what you should do when you're about to buy something is pause, think "do I actually need to buy this?", then count out 60 seconds as you imagine better things that money could be saved for or more urgent things that are needs rather than wants.
If by the end, you decide that you are 100% certain you want the thing, then buy it. Otherwise walk away.
This way you're only buying with intention.
Join a Buy Nothing group. If someone asks for something that you have, and you haven't used it in a while, give it away! You can always ask for another to keep or borrow if you have a need for it in the future.
I handle stuff mostly with my hands, but sometimes with my feet.
If you’ve had it for a year and never even looked at it it’s garbage. Or donate it. Or sell it.
