Trying to stick to your budget during a job searching? It’s often a challenge to find family activities that are fun and affordable. Here’s a free one! Take a break from your search this week by ridding your basement, garden shed or toy bin of unwanted, but still useable clutter. On May 15th, put your unwanted items at the curb and be part of “Get Rid Of Your Stuff” Day.
Chili resident Mike Morone is promoting May 15, 2010 nationally, as a way to keep still useable stuff out of the landfills and redirect it into the hands of people who might need it. You can find out more on Mike’s website: http://www.getridofyourstuff.com/.
Uncluttering your physical space can be cathartic. Freeing up space around you lightens your load. By donating your unwanted items, you can let go of the past and feel good about giving to others, even if you don’t have a lot of stuff to contribute. All good things for propelling you forward and keeping your career or job search in perspective.
On Give Your Stuff Away Day, walk or ride around participating communities in your area to find treasures you might be able to use. It won’t cost you anything and you might find a rake, a bike, a table or a few new treasure-hunting friends.
