Craft Supplies From Forgotten Projects

Okay, so, you know those scraps from that scrapbooking thing you started five years ago? Well, you really didn’t need to hang on to those construction paper clippings and failed paper snowflakes. You can throw them out now, along with those twenty boxes of cheap crayons, broken colored pencils, sun-bleached papers, and dried out paint palettes.

You might also notice that you have an entire office supply store stashed away in your desk drawers. Look, as cool as stationary is, you do not need twenty boxes of paper clips and sticky notes. Besides, you should be focusing on going paperless!

Chargers From Old Devices You No Longer Even Have

Charges seem to pile up more than misbegotten handheld consoles and phones. If you no longer use the device, you no longer need the charger. This also has to do with a cords to electronics you no longer even own. Like that Ethernet cable from the early 2000s or the power cord to your old Game Boy. Just get rid of it. Those homeless cords no longer have a purpose aside from taking up space in your drawers and storage boxes.

Oversized Filing Cabinets

Shouldn’t you have gone digital already? Gone are the days when you need to keep everything tucked away in manila folders. You can now scan most documents and save them electronically. Anything that needs to be saved physically can be kept in transparent folders—and in one drawer or storage box.
