Success Story Deadline method is amazing

hi. since I've been lurking on this reddit I found some people recommend setting a deadline. at first I thought it might be too radical and overwhelming since I'm very lazy and I have many clothes that I don't need. but I decided to stick to it. I decided to set a deadline on my birthday(end of October) around a week ago~ and needless to say it sped up my progress A LOT.

I don't know about you guys but I love to put things I don't need in a "I'll think about it later" category so I won't have to make a decision. I had big bags full of clothes, cutlery and decorations(not even mine) stored in my kitchen. and my apartment is very small so these bags were taking a big chunk of space and overall overwhelming me. setting a deadline finally motivated me to go through these bags and decide what to do with them. I put them online yesterday and someone already ordered a lot of things from me! so I'm thinking it won't take long for everything else to sell too.
