I want to post more often. I want to work on my own setting (whether or not it's unique, as was suggested in a recent Roleplaying Tips email). Most of all, I want to be done with this KonMari method decluttering I've been doing. I'm happy that it's happening, and it strangely corresponds to the new worldview I've gained as a result of taking a hard look at what I value spiritually, yet I never realized just how much "stuff" I have.
I have 7-8 boxes of books and two large trash bags of clothes that are going to Goodwill. I also still have around a four foot tall pile of gaming books that haven't been claimed. I spent several hours shredding paper last night (tax returns going back to 2002, check stubs and bank statements going back to 2005), and I still have half of the box left to go. In the realm of "komono"*, I still have CDs, DVDs, board games, card games, kitchen cookware, silverware and dishes, junk drawers, Gladware.
I never knew I had this much crap, and I long to see it gone, but I also don't want to just see it all get thrown away. (The game books, in particular, probably won't survive Goodwill.) So, I ignored part of the method, and have been searching for people interested in taking some of this stuff off my hands.
Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that I'm still alive, but learning just what an effort it is to follow through with this method.
