[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you donate the old magazines?  It seems that someone, somewhere would be able to use them.

But, if not, I suggest just ripping off the band aid and tossing what is taking up significant space in your home and has no retail value.  It's junk.  It's accumulated trash.  Toss it and reclaim your space.

You have to go a bit "mercenary" on it - eliminate it. Good luck.[/quote]

Trying to find a place to take old magazines is a good way to keep the OP from actual progress.  [/quote]

Yeah, I want to expand on this.

It might not be a popular approach, but I've found that considering whether this thing or that thing can still be used by someone and thus donated would be overwhelming and impede progress.  Sometimes, just to get off the dime, you just have to throw stuff away.  Just get it out of there.  You are not ruining someone's life if they don't get to read the May 1989 issue of National Geographic or wear your old socks from 2005.  Feeling you have to recycle every possible recyclable thing is a sure way to failure.  Just throw it away.  You will feel liberated.[/quote]
