I'm going to have another purge, because I want to reduce the number of bookcases in my office so the room feels bigger. That's the goal—no idea if it'll work out.<br /><br />I try to keep all product manuals together, and a few years ago I started keeping the receipt with the manual. It turns out that I ended up with manuals for things we got rid of ten years ago, and kept receipts well past the time the warranty expired and so did the lifespan guaranteed by NZ's Consumer Guarantees Act no longer applied.<br /><br />I think "stuff" is one of the greatest burdens we modern folk have placed onto ourselves—at the urging of companies selling us stuff, of course, but still.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-64505559237182009692021-12-01T00:34:26.132+13:002021-12-01T00:34:26.132+13:00This is extremely interesting to me.
I don't ...This is extremely interesting to me.<br /><br />I don't keep anything, such as old bills, anymore. They're online, for the most part.<br />My wife keeps almost EVERYTHING, grocery store receipts, e.g. She'll return things more frequently than I. (The lettuce wilted before its time? She'll take it back, but I would just compost it because it's not worth my time.)<br /><br />I also can't figure out her filing, in part because she files by year, and I sort by category. If I want the warranty for the refrigerator, I'll have to look in the .... well what year DID we buy the fridge. She'll go to the 2018 file. I would have had a file labeled Appliances if it were up to me. <br /><br />She's been telling me to figure what to do with my stuff (books, music). I DON'T KNOW because I'm using them. Maybe our daughter would want some, especially the latter. Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
