You are making excuses. You need to be making a plan and executing on it.

Find out where your local thrift shop is (30 seconds on Google), figure out what other errands need to get done in that part of town, put the shit you don't want near the front door or in the garage. Next time you run an errand near the thrift store, put your pile of crap in the car (loose, no need for a box). Drop it off while running your other errand.

Strart by telling yourself that you will do something and it will get done, but start by telling yourself that something cannot be done and it will not.

Agreed with all except that I'm making excuses. By that I mean it's great advice for most things in life that you want to do.

My point is that in this instance I just don't care. Not enough anyway. I could do exactly as you describe to minimize the cost but the value gain is so minimal that it doesn't warrant the effort. Simple cost/benefit analysis with the result being that the cost is too high (even if it's really low).

On the contrary, I think removing extraneous crap from your life is one of the highest value activities that you can possibly engage in.

Yes, but I don't think that. I live in the midwest. I have a copious amount of space. Having extraneous crap doesn't bother me much at all as I hardly ever see it.

One of the highest value activities for me is spending time with my kid. It's a hard sell that getting ridding of extraneous crap is worth it if it costs me even 10 minutes I could have instead been spending with my kid.

Why do you value getting rid of crap so highly?
