On my to-do list today/this week/month

#2. Cut the crap.

I've got gadgets and gizmos a plenty, I've got whoozits and wotsits galore. You want thingy-mabobs? I've got 20 (thousand). Right now, I am surrounded by plastic boxes full of stuff (crap) I'm sure I will want/wear one day. I have had such a hard time throwing things away that I need a constant reminder that life will go on if I throw away my Lion King trading cards (you can't make this shit up). Ok so they are doubles but I need to start somewhere and I have restrained myself from digging them out of the bin twice. I need an extremely strong reason to throw things away and I realised on this one that I am no longer 10 years old and therefore do not need them. Plus, if I ever have children one day they will be like wtf is this Mum? Who the eff is Sarabi. See, this is the kind of inner dialogue I go through. No wonder it's taken me all day to clean out one draw of stuff (crap).

I needed a new technique so I wrote down one of my new 2011 mantras. S would be so proud I am actually considering throwing things away. Having said that, I am brilliant at cleaning other peoples things. Maybe I should arrange a clean swap with someone. Any takers?
