I don’t want plates I only use twice a year and silverware I have to polish. What a waste

    My girlfriend has FOUR SETS of second-hand china that we will never use. Granted they are nice and they were cheap, but we have enough useless crap sitting around and not enough room for it. I'm going to force her to use them this year.

        I'm re-educating her on a lot of things lol

        Honestly it's the least of my concern with clutter right now, there is a room in the house dedicated exclusively to crafting and not even all of the crafting stuff fits in there. She has enough yarn alone to fill a standard-sized coat closet floor to ceiling.

        Her family has major issues with holding onto things they never use instead of donating or throwing them away and it's been a year-long struggle since we've moved in. Especially since I have ADHD and anything past minor clutter will immediately render me helpless in finding anything around the house.

            Isn't it amazing how you could be searching for something on a table/desk/whatever for like five minutes and when you finally see it, it was out in the open right in front of you and you know that you probably looked directly at it like 10 times.

              I’ve called my own phone from my phone to find my phone that I’m currently using

                Lmao nice

                Get some Tile trackers if you can afford it, they prevent a lot of cursing and rage when I'm trying to find my keys/wallet/phone. Just don't misplace all 3 at once :agony:
