The idea is no to go without. But to get rid of the excess that is not in use to make room for what we have or want that will actually get use and that we enjoy.
I will get rid of items via, trade, sale, or donation. I realize trade means bringing things back in, but again, it is about being selective in regards to what we bring into our homes items that will actually get usage.
So I will track my progress here. Make this a tab up at the top.
I am only tracking items actually on the way out, not the piles of stuff to get rid of until they have a destination. I am also not tracking normal waste or recycling or consumables.
