I recently inherited some stuff that has been lying around since the 1970s. Here are some tips that worked for me in sorting these out: ○ Throw away food items past their expiry date. ○ Take the opportunity to re-evaluate anything that might be unhealthy. For example, if you’re using a lot of plastic containers for food items, ask if glass or steel might be healthier. If so, throw away the plastic containers.
Very insightful article! Thanks for sharing these tips which are well organized as well.
Recently I moved into a small apartment so I had to be very mindful of how to utilize space. I use two main rules:
1. If I have not used something in a long time, I throw it away instead of convincing myself that I might need it in the future.
2. When I replace or upgrade something, I make sure to throw the old one. (Works especially with clothes!)
