So yesterday I threw away a fancy plastic container that came with candy in it. It sat on my counter for six weeks after I ate the candy, because it just looked so interesting and potentially useful.

but here's the thing - while it was hard to throw it out, it wasn't emotionally hard to throw it out! When I finally made the decision, I didn't feel that flood of uncertainty and self-doubt. And when I put it in the trash can, there was no twinge of regret. Just a sense of a job done, like when I finish loading the dishwasher.

this is a big deal.
