removing things without replacement
i stopped watching the H3 podcast and you know what i’m not going to do? replace it with another too long podcast.
when i get rid of a shirt i don’t need to get a new shirt.
purging is good and doesn’t need to be followed up by more consumption

some things are not meant to be in our lives in perpetuity and that is okay and actually totally normal

thrifting & donating
getting rid of so many clothes has felt so good that now when i want to buy clothes i also think of some pieces im willing to donate. no more hoarding clothes that i might wear “someday”. if i want to bring in the new I must go out w the old, plus I always thrift so it’s nice to complete the cycle !! 🔃

Getting rid of so much stuff
I’ve gotten rid of so much stuff over the last month and it feels fantastic
By default, I (we?) add things into my life — so I see the need to be in a constant state of vigilant editing

resist acquisition
getting rid of stuff is a lot more complicated than acquiring it. better to practice austerity on the front-end imo.
this goes for anything, btw, not just new clothes or whatever. i also apply this mindset to friends, diseases, habits, sins, beliefs.......

living where you live
if you have a local coffee shop, go there and don’t drive to a starbucks or dunkin
get a library card
befriend your neighbors
get plugged into the goings on of your town or city
repeat local legends
become friendly with your favorite store’s employees
read in your local park
patronize your local artists
the way to plant roots is to stay in the same place for as long as possible! you don’t get that by driving out of town for every meal and beverage and thing you want
