One other challenge I took part in the past--a "no buy" three month challenge.

Don't buy clothing/shoes/accessories, use the groceries in house, etc.

I did buy fresh eggs, milk, butter--no shelf stable staples.

I recently purchased basic underwear and some shift dresses. Thus, I'm going to clean out the closet of clothing that doesn't fit. When I lose weight, I'll buy a new core mix & match collection.

I've started following authors on Bookbub and unsubscribing from newsletters. Yours is still in the running. Loved this post. I've a book I'm editing with my editor's direction--cold molassas slow since the advice was to make shorter lists, alphabetize, and add pictures. So I guess I now have a half finished beta version--when I thought it just needed a little tweeking.

Going to go through my closets again--try shopping your closet. If you wouldn't buy the item again then let it go!

Newsletters can create so much clutter! I always sympathize with anyone who unsubscribes (or decides to only follow on the substack app and not get the emails!).

I would definitely be shopping my closet if it were not 100 degrees every day in summer here - in the same cut-offs and tank tops every day :)
