pan0/5⭐ I feel horrible for the ADHDer who is subject to these methods.
The part that broke me: “Better [your college kid] should run out of clothes once a week and then stand staring at the dryer in their bathrobe, totally focused, because they are hungry and need clothes to enter the dining hall.“

1. The clothes, toys, beds/blankets and other items from my pets who have passed away
2. Electronics. If they work, I don't get rid of them just so I can buy the newest technology
3. Clothes. I will wear them until they start to get holey or ratty tatty. I also don't get rid of clothes just so I can be the newest trends

I appreciate the irony that some of my clutter consists of multiple issues of a magazine dedicated to making life simpler. They used to occupy two shelves plus an overflow area, and now it‘s down to one shelf on the bookcase that‘s holding my #readordonate books. Getting the subscription finally stopped also helped, but that‘s another story! There weren‘t many January issues, and they‘re gone, so I‘m working on December now. #monthlymagazineblitz
“For me, hope is not a metaphor; it's a lived practice. I don't have hope, I do hope. Hope for me is grounded in the reality that wondrous things happen alongside and parallel to the terrible. Every single day.“
This book was just what I needed to read right now.
For the #URC prompt “an anti-fascist“ book and also my #DoubleSpin choice.
pickI love the content of this book, even if the way it was written was a little challenging for me to follow. adrienne marie brown presents ideas about leadership in movements that require a collective action that profoundly resonate with me. She uplifts the people that inspired her, notable among them Octavia Butler.
bailedDNF at 20%. Just couldn't do it anymore. As far as I got into she was constantly promoting classes and videos and using plenty of buzz words without providing a strategy. Also couldn't stand her voice.
pickSo good and so practical that I listened to it twice.
The author recommends #StitchFix for new clothes, but that service is problematic. First off, it‘s not cheap. A pair of shorts are $68. 😮 And the “fixes” I got were all sweaty polyester! Hardly any hemp, linen, or cotton, as it is all fast fashion. The only good thing is that the AI figures out your sizing perfectly after you provide feedback, so you can know your size for different brands.
pickThis book inspired me to declutter (at least think about decluttering...LOL).
