It says twelve but there's only ten listed.

Anyway, I only have one of those things and I'm not tossing my to-do list.
Good article gaga

Yeah, I caught that too. I wasn't going to go looking for the other two.
Getting rid of old clothes is a must, IMHO. If it is over 3 years old or has a spot, it's gone.
I can see getting rid of a grudge, but that is not a "thing", it's a feeling.

It is easy for me to get rid of a lot of things.

If I haven't worn it, used it or thought about it in a year, it's gone.

I have a drawer that I toss things in. When it is full I go through it and get rid of anything I can not live without.

Books? I tend to hang on to those. But my kids read them too.

As for grudges, depends. I can hold onto one of those forever. But it has to be something major like infidelity. Other than that I get over it pretty quickly.

 It says books you'll never read. I had some books left over from business school. those ones by some CEO supposedly imparting the secret to success and crap like that. I finally convinced myself to get rid of them this last time I moved. I didn't read them when my grade depended on it, I sure as hell wasn't going to use my precious little free time to read them now.

 

now, I did pack up about 10 boxes of books and have been buying more. amazon prime is my friend biggrin

I can't get rid of books, so sue me! I have so many books I could open up a library, and most of them are in storage.

 You might donate them to Flan or TLC for safekeeping, I'm sure they would let you visit them whenever you want to.

 Most of the donated books get put into our book sale.

Our library has a huge book sale every year. It is at an offsite locaion due to it being so big. It usually lasts 2 or 3 days. People come in droves to get books.

 I love looking for children's books that are out of print.
