I do not need to keep a job description printout for a job at Manchester Met that I didn’t apply for in 2008… My argument is that if I can identify that sort of thing and get rid of it, then I free space to keep the stuff I actually want. Likewise if I tidy and file the bank statements, then they take up less room. They can be in files on top of the cupboard or on the kitchen shelves, not using space in drawers. The green tweed skirt should go because it is a nice skirt, but I never wear it, and keeping it against [dressing up as Harriet Vane] is daft because I could use the space for a red one that I would actually wear, and the mad green velvet skirt that I have never worn but is just fun to have. Also, I discovered when clearing stuff in Leeds that I don’t need to make final decisions on everything all at once. Only getting rid of the stuff you absolutely don’t want, and keeping some stuff you probably don’t need to, clears more space than if you insist on making final decisions on everything you look at, but only do a small amount because it takes so long.
I do the boxes in fit of zeal thing, too, but that is not for this week!
