Day 6: shredded notes

On day 6 of the MinsGame I shredded three old notebooks. I've taken notes on jobs, stuff I've read, things I've done - these were no diaries, but somehow shredding them was strange.
Also I gave a chocolate machine to a girl who came to get her some plush sheep that I found in a box. The sixth thing was a clipboard that could be thrown away.

The problem of the #MinsGame is that there are lot's of things in my house that I myself didn't use for a long time. So they are useless resources that could be useful for others, but how to find these new users? So we decided that it's okay to put some stuff into the cellar until a new user could be found within this month.

Yesterday I made my own givebox and put the glasses in them on the street in front of my house at 11pm: they were gone (including the box) early this morning.

Milestone finished: Tinkershelf

I consider this project as nearly finished now. In fact it's a series of projects which began with the painting of the TinkerTable which led to a renovation of the whole room including painting the bed and closet in grey as you might have read. Back to the shelf: what's missing is some kind of lighting above the working surface to replace the desk lamp. But there is still some work to be done on the table itself.

#MinsGame Day 5: collection of ugly glasses

Unused ugly glasses: five of them are gone now.
And yes, those two have hearts on them.

#MinsGame Day 4

Three tubes that had or have herbs in them and a little sheep money bank are gone. No worries about whether someone might have to find one of those useful.

Third day of throwing things out of my life

On the third day of the #MinsGame I'm throwing away these three tins hoping they will be recycled. 

I thought, I didn't have tea in them for the last year or even longer but on the other hand I could use them to put screws in or stuff like that. At least someone, somewhere on the planet could do so. Will they really have a new life as soda cans or cheap jewelery produced by small hands on the other side of this planet...

Second Day of #MinsGame

So it's July the second and two things I don't need anymore have to go. How many things do I have that I really don't need now and in the future. I just thought about building something like a clock out of the metal plate... But now it's going to be recycled into a new life as soda can ... 

#MinsGame is the name of the fight

A friend told me of www.theminimalists.com this morning and now we've something like a challenge.
This month we'll get rid of things: first day one thing, on the second two, on the third day three ...

Here's day one: a candle
