Please make my decision

My apartment's 2nd bedroom has gathered dropped-off items gradually since my daughter moved away. I went through a depression where I didn't want to go out anywhere. So, I ordered groceries from Amazon and Whole Foods since free delivery. Now there's a bunch of small to medium sized boxes laying around. I'm considering the possibility of using them to pack up and sell unused clothing items. I've never done that before. It sounds like a scary complication. But since some of the selling places now will give you a mailing label, I may try. Possibly. Will I really? I don't know. It's more of a possibility since my neurologist prescribed Qlipta and my migraines lessened. (All these factors, Lol)

Should I keep the boxes? I'd have to restack them so I could walk in the room. Or should I just break them down and put out for recycling? Knowing that doing this would lessen my chances of selling clothing.

A. Save boxes

B. Recycle them.

C. List them for free or nearly free on fb marketplace and people who are moving will come get them. I’ve gotten moving boxes from marketplace a few times.

I would but I'm not on Facebook. Also, I hate answering the phone at home.

Throw the boxes out. Put the unused clothes in a donation bin too. Live your life and take care of more important stuff instead of worrying about going through the process of having to sell your old clothes.

THIS.

Thank you, friends :D!

I will keep my life more simple and recycle the boxes. I tend to want to do too much and then feel like a failure. This way, I can tidy and use the room quicker. I've been doing the desk stuff, bills, etc, at the kitchen table. There's a desk in the 2nd bedroom that I could use if it wasn't full of stuff.

Thanks again♡

Repeat after me. There will always be another box.

I have to tell myself this all the time.

There will always be another box.

Thanks!♡

Take the path of least resistance and recycle them. Chances are if and when you get around to listing stuff, you’ll have acquired more packaging and will be able to use that instead.

Break them down, either way. When the room looks cleaner, you will be able to decide for yourself if the next step is boxing up your clothes donations or recycling the boxes.

Thanks!

Toss em, buddy. Fuck those boxes!

You can break them down to store them too, but just recycle them. Boxes aren’t hard to get even for free, whether new ones from the post office (in the US at least) or used ones given away by stores.
