All I want to do is throw EVERYTHING away

Really, just everything.  I am in full on purge mode but don't have the energy. 

 Paper is my enemy.  I never seem to be able to let go of it (even though I have a "system" of what to keep I end up keeping everything).  And my damn shredder jams on me.  Oy.

Re: All I want to do is throw EVERYTHING away

  • Your post made me LOL as I am on the same kick.  I feel like there are some boxes we haven't opened since moving and I'd like to just throw them directly in the trash - WITHOUT even opening them!
  • Purging feels so amazing.  I have a ton of stuff that I have been setting aside in the basement to get rid of soon.  I love how much nicer everything looks and how much easier it is to clean when all of that junk is out of my way.
  • Oooo, I'm in. Let's get rid of everything!

    I go through and purge old clothes, papers and even old kitchen utensils every couple of months because I absolutely hate clutter.

     FI loves to keep everything, he knows how I am so he thinks if he sticks it in the guest room closet that the stuff won't stress me out. It'll be fun to see how he reacts when some of those things go missing in our next move.... 

  • My thoughts are just the same. Why in the world everything is not paper less?
  • I am on the same kick.  We moved 5 months ago and I feel like all I have been doing is getting rid of stuff.  How the heck there is still stuff to get rid of and purge I don't know :)  I feel like I am constantly bringing trunks of stuff to the Goodwill. 
  • DH and i are moving out of our apt. when he graduates in December, and i'm already purging! here are a couple of websites i go to for inspiration about going the minimalist route:

  • I feel this way too, like I want to pitch it ALL and start over.  I'm driving my husband crazy.
