Solutions


Some people shop when they are bored or depressed or don't know what to do. 

I can shop online.  I have been shopping online for months, since I couldn't get out.

Thanks to that and doctors and it being the end of the month I can no longer do that.

Now I begin my most favored way of battling boredom and depression, and not knowing what to do. (When I can't go walking in the woods.)

Anti-shopping!

So far this year I anti-shopped my desk and desk chair, my bicycle and exercise cycle. even my upholstered side chair.

Today I am doing the closet (again.)

Anti-shopping is that intensely satisfying feeling I get from divesting myself of anything I can live without.  It's different than simplifying only because I may replace it with something better in the future.  Or not.

It's not the only solution, but it's cheap, it's time consuming, and it feels good.
