Decluttering accomplishments

I threw away an old watch I really liked. The band had broken. It had human grime in its nooks and crannies and left marks and indentations on my skin. Replacing the band would have cost just as much as buying a new watch.

I tossed a bunch of old torn maps I had hung on my walls. Removing them makes my place look bigger and more open now.

I sold a pair of binoculars I got nine years ago. They were too bulky and the image was too dark. In comparing binoculars I had focused too much on the magnification while disregarding the importance of the diameter of the objective lens. I now have a more compact roof prism design.

I donated (dumped) my Sibley Guide to Birds in a Little Free Library. There are tons of newer and more comprehensive or more specialized bird books at the library to check out any time I want.

I sold my Ikea reclining chair. I have a goddamn couch to sit on. Which I got for free.
