Discardia

  1. Discard unpleasant commutes: carry music, earphones, reading material, & the means to take notes on ideas (e.g. an iPhone & index cards)
  2. Sometimes "lazy" isn't. Ordered takeout so I could stay in the groove working on my Discardia book. (Oo!)
  3. @sanfranannie Hooray for massive decluttering! Enjoy the fruits of victory!
  4. Quality over quantity is a great principle to follow not only in food & drink, but also in how much you try to fit into your calendar.
  5. Forgiveness Sunday! 1) Write that note to rebuild a relationship. 2) Quit beating yourself up over a past mistake; make amends & move on.
  6. Goodwill doesn't take clean bags, empty poster tubes, pillows. But all that other stuff you've been meaning to bring in? They'd like that.
  7. What really matters to you at home/work? Your real priorities? Write 'em down & read every day. Spend 1/4hr or more doing a task serving 'em
  8. Look with fresh eyes at self-distraction sources. What has more prominence than it deserves? Turn off alerts for what you will check anyway.
  9. It's Discardia time! What are you letting go of today?
  10. Isn't this afternoon when you're supposed to chuck over the chores & go relax in a hot tub or at a ball game or something instead? Yep.
  11. You have a magic free 20 minutes. Which unread magazine is the last one you'd pick up? Cancel that subscription. Which unread book? Donate.
  12. Give those old prescription eyeglasses a new life! Goodwill donation centers take these too, so go round up your old pairs & take 'em in!
  13. New favorite game: Fight the cruft! Put on some slightly hyper & fun music, set a timer for 15 minutes & put away/trash/sort/file/complete!
  14. My newest, biggest discardian goal: Have nothing - not 1 thing - which I have not consciously chosen within the last two years to still keep
  15. "The only genuinely subversive thing you can do is have more fun than other people. So get to it!" - Bill McKibben (thanks @jessamyn!)
  16. "Power users trust software as far as they have thrown their computers in the past." - Danny O'Brien (And therefore, go do a backup now).
  17. Unfollow unsubscribe cancel delete donate discard. Eliminate 10 things taking up your time/energy/space. Now do 1 action on top priority.
  18. Discard the illusion that they can make it without you. Put your dollars where your local love is: http://www.the350project.net
  19. Good past piece from Real Simple: "10 ways to let go of your stuff" http://bit.ly/TWM5e 'Tear down the museum' is like my "dump Dream Duty"
  20. Noun. Swaptriage To review belongings identifying those which can be upgraded for other more desired things through http://www.swaptree.com
