August Purge

[Tybee]

I am impressed, Klunick!

I have the same problem with overbuying trying to get something right, then having a hard time getting rid of it due to sunk cost I think.
So sometimes I'll replace it, but won't get rid of the first thing--like right now, trying to fix old computer instead of just getting rid of it.

Or planners. I try a system and don't like it and then get another one but then bounce back and forth between them. It's that time of year that I have to figure out the planner for next year--just ordered a new insert that started with July. But in the meantime, tried to make the other pages work, then shelved the daily ones because they are so expensive and I feel there's not enough room for notetaking on the weekly one.

So had two going for a while and today reduced that to one. I want to get something working really well by the end of the year. The one thing I like is my cover, which lies flat so I can write easily. It's not a planner per se, but a notebook, and I really like that part, so now I am limited to ring bound inserts.

I have never been a shopper until I unlocked my love of seasonal decor. I have never been one to buy clothes, shoes, purses, gadgets, etc. Don't need the latest and greatest anything. Seasonal decor is the one area I have struggled to get a hold on. Doing the major purge last month really helped but I admit, I still look online for decor. Haven't bought anything because I keep telling myself it's not needed. That seems to be working.

I got rid of the torchiere floor lamp that we had in the rec room downstairs. It still worked but a piece wasn't fitting right anymore so it was wobbly if it got bumped. I did keep the lamp shade because I have two torchiere lamps upstairs in the living room that I could use the shade if something happened to the current ones.
