Wardrobe Change

Weather, seasons, time of day and time of year, help us regulate our next steps. Long days of summer can be so productive if all the fresh air doesn’t tire you out. It reminds me of the amount of time on screens I waste, when I am doing other things. There are so many things we can do without and only consider as an after thought. You can start to learn the limits of your wardrobe if you skip laundry. How much food is in the house and meals you can make without getting more groceries. We sure do collect without intention.

Compartmentalize your things and see how much you have. Minimize and go without and see if it can stick. Except paper towel, I tried to give up paper towel. It’s sounds good, until a pet gets sick! I think Covid had me stock piling items because of toilet paper shortages and stuff. Try waiting until the shampoo bottle is empty, it is harder than you think. I am a sale girl too, so when items are on sale, that I know we use, I get two. Regular priced groceries is no joke, but so is running out of kitty litter or butter.

I have been packing and purging, and I miss nothing. Out of sight, out of mind, I don’t even know what is in the boxes. Stuff and apparently things I don’t use, so probably not practical. I am going to try an experiment and get nothing unless it is needed now, until August first. I love personal challenges! Only “have to” purchases! If I have some, I can’t get more. It’ll be like the starting out phase, you know when no condiments are in the fridge. Any wagers on how many days I can do it, or maybe try it yourself. I bought bread, strawberries, and juice boxes today because I had zero in the house. I am already ahead! Wish me luck!
