Nine Items You Are Permitted to Discard

If you’re human and not a bot crawling the Internet looking for blog posts about home organizing, you understand you have stuff that you don’t need but, for reasons of sentimentality or nonchalance, just never tossed. Here are some examples of those items, which you now have my “permission” to trash or recycle.

• A mug you received as a gift that you don’t really like
• Nail polish that dried up or in colors from which you have moved on
• Instructions and warranty cards of appliances you no longer own
• Pens, highlighters, and markers that have dried up
• Greeting cards and letters (what to do with these will be in my next blog)
• Clothes that “might fit” when you lose the 10 lbs. you’ve been working on for a decade
• Takeout menus (get the latest online or on the app)
• Maps, which are likely out of date anyway
• Swag you picked up at an event and will never use

Do you have any of the above? I hereby give you permission to properly disposed of any or all of it!
