So, I realized that there are some things that I hang on to because I think that they could be useful - and they could be - if we used them. So, that leads to me keeping stuff for a long time because some day, we might use it.
I just threw away some old folders from my kids school supplies that had belonged to my 21 year old daughter from high school. I still have some of her and my other kids' old spirals. I just offered a dozen partly used spiral notebooks free on facebook and freecycle because the paper is useful. Probably no one will want them. I am just going to throw them away. It feels wasteful, but we have a lot of brand new unused spirals and we have at least a half dozen partly used ones all over the house that we are using and we will never use them all. So, it is clutter. Yes. I should just throw them away. Right? I threw away my kids old icky binders from last school year this week.
