Using the book No New Things, by Ashlee Piper
I recently started this book, which is quite readable with lots of humor and no scolding.
Last week, I launched her 30-day no-buy unnecessary stuff project, which involves keeping a journal and answering some questions she’s got laid out.
So far, so good. My weakness has been clothes and shoes. So, that’s my first project. I know my triggers, so I’m not opening mail catalogues and I’ve unsubscribed to online marketing for clothes and shoes.
My big goal is to feel uncluttered, creative with what I already have, and to save money for scouting trips in other countries for possibly moving out of the country. I don’t need a bunch of stuff should I actually move. So, as I purge, I don’t need to bring in more stuff, no matter how clever the turnout may be.
