This is why there areso many approaches to doing it.
What is the Three Rivers Pantry Challenge?
No new groceries for two months.
The idea is to use up whats available before restocking.
Adapting the challenge to declutter
The thinking behind the Three Rivers Challenge is pretty adaptable.
In fact, ithasbeen adapted and been around quite a long time in different forms for different needs.
Thats hard as hell, I can assure you: New makeup is coming out all the time.
I probably have five different primers that all claim to minimize my pores and help my foundation last longer.
I fall for it every time, but in reality, I dont need five.
I need one andmaybea second one to tote around in an on-the-go bag.
As mentioned, I dont need five primers because I can only wear one at a time.
There will never be a situation where I need access to two at once.
Once youve figured out which things you keep accumulating unnecessarily, make a plan.
Dont buy any new items in that category for two months.
During those two months, use up everything you’re able to, if its usable.
Adherents to the homesteaders challengeherald it for producingthe dopamine rush of emptying what you worked hard to own.
You did work hard to get the money for all that stuff.
Beauty and personal care products, especially, have expiration dates.
They dont do you any good when you have seven of them on the shelf.
