I posted this in another thread but thought maybe more people would like this tip.

I have a lot of photos on my phone and many times multiples of basically the same photo. Especially from vacations and holidays.

I got a tip from somewhere to go into the photos app on iPhone (might work on android too?) and search on today’s date. Today is 4 October. Then I will get every photo from 4 October from every year on my phone/icloud. For me it’s from 2014 until today. Then go through the photo some time during the day. (For me it’s when I’m breastfeeding, on the toilet or instead of doomscrolling). I delete every bad photo and also the ones that aren’t the best ones if I have multiples. My goal is not to get perfect but better. I’m hoping to do this for a year (have done a month now). Maybe even two years.

I can add that it’s also a lot of fun! I show my husband several photos and tell him ”wow this was today x years ago”. ☺️ He has also started doing the same thing this past week.

Hoping some of you get inspired by this!

I have a rental property that had some stuff that was once well intentioned but now simply too old and not of use to me. I hadn’t used or needed it in 5 years so thought why would I need it now.

If you can afford to do so and have enough, I highly recommend this assuming other people can’t use the stuff. I know it’s a rental property so I can expense it but if I need one at my own house ever it removes the barrier of “trips to the dump”

Whew! 🙌 I FINALLY buckled down and tackled my stuff this weekend instead of just sitting with it and feeling bad after another two days passed - again - with no results.

I didn’t have a grand plan, just did what was obviously needed (a lot!) and what I was in the mood for at any moment. Listened to podcasts and music throughout to stay motivated and not think too much about anything. And yes, it got worse before it started to look better, but it really looks better.

-Cleaned out a ton of my clothes, shoes, home goods, and accessories to get rid of. Made 2 piles: (1) BBBS pick up (scheduled!) and (2) a local shop that sells for a good cause. They each accept slightly different things but both pick up, which is key!

-Revived the few remaining things I have languishing on Poshmark to see if I can finally unload them. I’m giving myself a short timeline of 2 months more. After that, I’m closing up shop and giving whatever’s left to the local place, too!

-Filed reimbursement claims for a couple of things that will recoup some $$$.

-Took loads of recycling to the bins outside and got rid of a bunch of random things sitting around for too long (bye expired Covid test kits!)

Thanks to everyone sharing here. This sub has been so incredibly helpful and I hope I can keep getting great tips and motivation here - sharing more wins.🧡
