I'm continuing my purge and re-organization of my desk & bookshelves. It's amazing to me how many things I've held onto in the thoughts that I will re-read it, or that I might need to refer to someday. Especially old Bible study guides that I've written in. If I haven't gone back and read through my notes by now, I don't think I ever will. In fact, I am hard-pressed even to remember what specific things I learned in those studies. Not that I didn't learn anything, but I think I will benefit more from going to the Bible and looking up new references when I'm studying a certain topic. So, most of those went into the recycling bin.
I'm also learning that books that I decided to keep a week ago, I am re-considering as I put things back onto my shelves. It's a bit of a process: a book might be a "maybe" at one point, but as I think through it some more, I realize that I really don't need to hold onto it after all and then it can happily go into the "Donate" box.
