Week 3

Week 3- item weight: 19.4lbs     Cumulative junk loss: 71.6 lbs

Box contains: a healthy stack of books and CDs. Some older computer games, a bag full of knock off meccano parts, a bag sealer, some chocolate molds, various computer parts, bubbles, and 2 ebony carvings.

Process:We had the box out in the open this week and I found myself going through my day and taking notice of the items I was interacting with. I would catch myself wondering if I truly needed certain things. As a result the box filled a little each day. Since it was a smaller box, we tried to focus on smaller items because we also have a lot of that lying around. I will admit, I am grieving a little around the book loss. I know that I have a lot of these books in electronic format and I certainly don’t need 4 bookshelves worth of novels. I am going to have to think about what books are truly meaningful to me because I do want to keep a small collection.
