One of my life goals is to make 1 big change every year.
Combine this with the fact that I'm always on the move, shuttling cities on cue.
So, earlier this month I decided to cut on all material possessions, down to the bare minimum:
Here's what I plan to do with the rest, this week:
1. Clothes - Only keep what I wore in the last 6 months, donate ALL earlier ones to Goonj via DHL.
2. Books - Give away all books* I've read, to public libraries / pass on to strangers via BookCrossing.
3. DVDs & CDs - Give away everything. YouTube & external strorage FTW!
4. Everything else - Gets Freecycled / goes in the Swasta Ani Masta Garage Sale.
* If you would like something from my bookshelf, write me on Facebook and it could be yours!
Thank you for the inspiration, Tim Ferris, Aparna Shekhar Roy and Hermione Way.
