Nothing.

I'm a true minimalist. I was when I was 5. I was when I was 21. I am now.

I built a post Quartz Revolution watch collection (a post for another day).

I built the beginnings of a CD collection in my early '20's. Then life intervened. Everything went to mp3.
I used to use Tower Records and publisher's catalogs. It became still more difficult to me with the never ending multiplicity of apps and streaming.

I still try with the music and select reading (because of my dislike of reading on the computer and my near sightedness).

Other than this, I like to have things around me that are functional and can be used on a regular basis.

Scraps of paper I have written ideas on. It's out of control.

Put them all in a box - and spend an afternoon typing them onto a Word document. It will be easier to find them. I was doing something similar with things I should read or watch. Problem was I had all kinds of scraps and no system to find them until I took a few minutes to type them into a document.

*A* box?!?! Hahahahaha!

I have a 10x8 storage shed completely filled with boxes back in Missoula. Then there is the entire walk in closet here at home. These scraps go back to the 1960s.

I have more tennis balls than I know what to do with. Every match Uses 3 balls, so someone has to take them home. I keep 80 for serve practice, discard the rest.

We just refinished our floors, so we got rid of a ton.

I really dislike clutter, so I don’t save things.

With all those tennis balls you need a golden retriever.
