Gdocs killed my blog! Also, Clutter Busting by Brooks Palmer

[herchuckness]

It's true! Google documents is part of the reason I stopped post here much. I've been using it since the beginning of 2008 for a wide variety of things, including private journaling. A lot of it's too boring or too personal to share, but getting into the habit of writing there kind of sucked up all the words I would have posted here in the past.

This reminds me that I really need to write a review of an ARC I recently read titled Stuff, written by two psychologists specializing in hoarding disorders. It's a way more complex phenomenon than people realize.

Looking forward to reading it!

hhmm I'm going to the library to borrow that book. Thanks for the rec!

[herchuckness]

Cool, hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the rec, I will definitely look into that. I have been very slowly letting go of things (mostly clothing and books) but I am open to something that will continue encouraging that behaviour.

Slow & steady's a good way to go! Though it does feel good to occasionally get rid of a heaping pile of stuff at once. While I was moving I sold four BIG boxes of books to the local used bookstore, it was an awesome feeling.

Hmm---seems just the book for me. But I'm pretty sure its because I'm depressed as hell nowadays so I doubt I will be doing any cleaning for a while.

Although I should considering I've got to move.....a lot of...stuff in the next month. I can't imagine throwing it out or selling it.
