Every Friday I will feature a new idea from the book Dream it. List it. Do it! that you can add to your life’s to do list.
This week’s selection comes from the “Make a Difference” chapter:
Give something away every time you get something new.
I LOVE this idea! Not only will you be doing something good, but it will force you to NOT be a packrat. I’m not going to add this to my list because how would you know when to mark it off? It’s not something you could say “I’ve done it” to; it is something you have to continually work at everyday. Like exercise or eating healthy. What I am going to do is keep this in the back of my mind and try to remember to give something away every time I get something new. I think this practice would have lots of benefits:
- Feeling good about giving
- Thinking twice about new purchases
- Keeping your house clutter free
- Getting rid of things you don’t need
- Cut down on the need for one big Spring Cleaning
What do you think? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

As a packrat, this would be an excellent thing for me to start doing. :-)
