Keep What You Love, Store What You Need, Let Go of the Rest

It encourages intentionality in keeping possessions, focusing on what is truly cherished, practically useful, and letting go of what is not. This philosophy can be applied to various aspects of life, including physical possessions, relationships, and even past experiences.
Applying the principle:
Keep What You Love:
This involves identifying items that hold significant sentimental value or are truly cherished and used regularly. These are the items that bring joy and add value to your life.
Store What You Need:
This refers to items that are necessary for daily life or occasional use but don't necessarily evoke strong emotions. These can be stored in a way that is accessible when needed but doesn't clutter the living space.
Let Go of the Rest:
This involves parting with items that are no longer needed, used, or loved. This can include items that are broken, outdated, or simply cluttering up space. Letting go can be freeing and allows for a more minimalist and organized environment.
Benefits of adopting this principle:
Reduced Clutter:
By letting go of unnecessary items, you can create a more organized and visually appealing living space.
Increased Clarity:
Simplifying your surroundings can lead to a clearer mind and reduced stress.
More Freedom:
Fewer possessions can mean less time spent cleaning, organizing, and managing belongings, allowing for more freedom to pursue other interests.
Stronger Relationships:
Applying this principle to relationships can involve prioritizing meaningful connections and letting go of toxic or draining relationships.
Growth and Transformation:
By letting go of past mistakes and regrets, you can create space for personal growth and a more positive outlook on the future.

Poll: Are the guidelines around when a child is too sick for school clear?

After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.
We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?
We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?

-
55.8% Yes - The messaging about when to keep kids home is consistent.

Choice News Tuesday: Little spotted kiwi rediscovered on mainland Aotearoa
Kiwi pukupuku (the little spotted kiwi) have been rediscovered in the wild on mainland Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in five decades!

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.
The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.
Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!
We hope this news brings a smile!
Two Gilt Framed Tondo Mirrors
Two identical round mirrors, straight out of the box, never used, as good as the day they were bought. The diameter or length across from one side to the other is 80cm.
$50 each, or both for $80.
Four Lamp Shades
Four lovely lamp shades, in good condition but they do need a good clean. One has a crack on the bottom, as shown in the picture.
Give me whatever you think they’re worth.
Radio and Tape/Cassette Deck
If anyone needs an old, but still working well, radio cassette deck, this unit is from 1986, bought in Australia, and little used in recent times. The radio and tape deck both still work fine, the speakers are detachable, and there is even a jack so you can input music from another device.

Leaf Vacuum (rather than a leaf blower)
Has been sitting in the garage for a while, but still functions perfectly well, and does a good job sucking up leaves. The front is on a wheel to help support the weight, which makes it lighter and easy to use.
Computer Desk
Needs a good clean, but will come up well. On rollers. Must collect and take away. Free!!
Old Church Pedal Organ / Harmonium
Has been in a wet garage and is not in very good condition at all, so either a do-up job or maybe good for spare parts. If no one wants it, I’ll break it into pieces and dump it, but hopefully someone can take better care of it than I, and restore it to its playing days.

In this article, Amelia Wade reports on what it’s like to seek employment when you’re 50+. Many factors - from financial to social pressures - are keeping people in the workforce longer. The reality is that times are tough, even for our most experienced workers: of those receiving Jobseeker benefit, a third are 50-64 years old.
