Iʼve heard it said that every piece of clutter represents an unmade decision. This explains why my brain feels like a little clump of
fried cotton after Iʼve spent even just a few hours working on my Personal Clutter Reduction Initiative of 2010. (Sadly, I just found a box of “things to take care of” from my PCRI of 2005, still in the master closet, buried under more recent clutter. But Iʼll think about that later.)
Why is this process so taxing? Iʼm not sentimental about material objects, and Iʼm not a packrat. Trash it, give it away, or keep it —whatʼs the big deal? Well, hereʼs the problem Iʼve identified: Iʼm missing key information needed to allow me to take action on certain items. Result: Decision Deadlock.
So, Iʼm hoping to get help from you. If you have the key to any of my Decision Deadlocks, will you please, please e-mail me or post it at MyOurTown.com? Iʼll publish a follow-up here. There are three categories of Decision Deadlocks, and I just realized that Iʼve only got room here for one. This might turn into a series, which is swell, since PCRI 2010 goes on all year!
Category 1. Clearly, itʼs trash.But this item is a special breed of trash that shouldnʼt go inthe landfill. Category 2. Itʼs not trash, but I donʼt want it.Someone wants or needs this item, but who, and where, and how do I get it to that person? Category 3. Iʼm not sure if itʼs trash or not.Maybe I can and should salvage this item for myself or for someone else, but how, and is it worth it?
Okay, here we go with Category 1. To make this more difficult, Category 1 items have different disposal options and requirements depending on where you live.• Old pharmaceuticals. Ever since I read about trace amounts of drugs found in some water supplies, I have been hoarding unused meds that contain anything that I wouldnʼt want small children drinking.• Florescent bulbs. Weʼve been good eco-citizens and switched over to these energy savers. But I think they contain mercury. So, where do the dim bulbs go? • Thermometers. Speaking of mercury, what about my four non-digital thermometers Iʼll never use again? • Batteries. These arenʼt good in the landfill, right? But everyone uses and replaces batteries so much! If they are bad, why isnʼt it easier to find their proper burial ground? • Pens, audiotapes, videotapes. I know, these seem benign. But I remember hearing that theyʼre toxic for the environment. True or false? If true, what to do? • Technotrash. Non-working TV, DVD player, digital clock, router, lightning-fried Wii...oh, whither?
I feel sure that thereʼs a right way and a wrong way to get rid of this stuff. If I can collect the information for each of our areaʼs cities and counties, Iʼll make it available in Our Town. Will you help me? Stay tuned for more on the saga of my Personal Clutter Reduction
