Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.
I live in a small apartment, so I know how important it is to keep the number of things I have in check. However, I forget to declutter.

I did a relatively good job decluttering my desk this past month, and I have even kept the desk clutter-free (most of the time), but I haven’t expanded the decluttered area in my apartment.
I have a couple of things that I should sell. For example:
- Gamecube games: Pikmin, Resident Evil 4, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, and Mario Sunshine. I love video games but don’t have a GameCube or play that much, so I should sell them.
- A Realme C21. A phone that I had to buy in a rush because my current phone decided that dying the day before an international trip was a great idea. I’m not using it, and it’s just accumulating dust.
- A bunch of shoes. They are in perfect shape but not my size (someone gave them to me). I want to donate these, but I keep forgetting!
- Read books. I have completed reading some books, and I am not the type of person who re-reads a book (The only exception I will make is with Dune). Yep, these have to go.
It is a short list, but I am still annoyed at myself for not completing the decluttering. I added a reminder in my calendar so this stops floating in my mind and gets done. I’ll share an update in the comment next Saturday to confirm if I did it.
Thank you so much for reading me, and I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day!
