You have to pay accrued interest from the day you close to the end of the month, so the closing date definitely is relevant to the interest cost. Read more

I don’t have a dog anymore, but this sign seems like it would be effective

Thanks for letting me know! Read more

I believe in you, Moon. You can do it. Read more

I don’t think they’re too advanced. Most of these poses are part of beginner yoga classes. The photos might show the ideal/more challenging form, but each of these can be modified. Tree pose, for example, with the foot of the bent leg resting on the other leg’s ankle instead of held at the inner thigh or triangle pose… Read more

The logistics of that isn’t addressed in the book, unfortunately. If a charity near you picks up books or furniture, though, that’s the best recourse. (In my area, Big Brothers Big Sisters takes an obscene number of boxes of books and they also accept stuffed animals, which you can’t even give away for free) Read more

The participants had to log in to a site that recorded their daily practice, so there’s that. There’s always some doubt when it comes to self-reported data, but I think if the volunteers were taking the time to record their progress every day they were probably doing the exercises. Read more

Definitely matters when purchasing/renting a place. For me, it was upgrading to a larger space (2BR apt to a 6BR house) that instigated all the clutter accumulation—not that I needed a bigger place to fit stuff I was buying. Stuff just seemed to appear once we had a bigger place. (Tip for anyone who’s reading: Don’t… Read more

I know what you’re saying. It’s simple advice. But like weight loss or personal finance advice, simple advice that takes more of a mindset shift to actually work. That’s where I think she comes in, because the obsessive tidying is sort of contagious. Read more

Digital is the way to go for most things, but not for all. I have a large number of poetry books, cookbooks, and computer reference books and these are all much more usable in dead tree format. I’d also argue that the pleasure of reading a printed graphic novel or comic book is higher than reading a digital version. Read more

That argument confuses me, because ideally, when the DVDs are ripped, there will just be empty space there. Whether the DVDs are in that space or it’s empty, I’m still paying the same amount of mortgage/rent. It’d be different if I was renting a storage unit to house these things. Read more

I know, but the effort and time! I considered buying a multi-dvd ripping device, but they were $400 the last time I checked. Read more

That’s unfortunate (and I’ve been in the same boat). Is it possible to reconnect with others who were in the company (companies)? You might find them on LinkedIn. Read more

Definitely harder when you have a family. My husband’s massive collection of movie DVDs bothers me sometimes, but perhaps my massive collection of books bothers him, so it balances it. I find with my daughter (who is taking after me in the book collecting part) it’s helpful to sit down with her and go through the… Read more

Yeah, she does take decluttering to an extreme. Thankfully, her method is adaptable. Even getting halfway to her approach was an improvement for me. Read more

Thanks for the signup report! Read more

I think it’s the concept of prepping a week’s work of slow cooker meals in a couple of hours one day a week. Assembly line prep sort of stuff on one day that pays off the rest of the week (or so I hear). Or making “freezer meals”: This is an extreme example of it. Read more
