Throw that shit away! the author exclaims, after observing how many of her friends save every box that once housed an Apple product. WHY? Why do people do that? Throw that shit out! It is clotting your existential arteries. It is taking up your life-and mind-space. DO NOT give up your air square-footage to the ghost of Steve Jobs. Who do you think you are? Or, more aptly, who do you want to be? Throw your Apple product boxes away right now. You know it is said there are two forms of inspiration. PASSIVE INSPIRATION: when a person is mentally and emotionally inspired by hearing others tell their life stories, of trials turned to triumph, by reading profound quotes, listening to a motivational speaker, etc. -- all of which puts one on an emotional high that soon dissipates due to inaction. Then there is ACTIVE INSPIRATION -- where one mentally absorbs the success of another (as in the above examples) then begins to apply those notions through trial-and-error action, whereupon ideas are courted, expanded, reduced, discarded, started again, augmented (you get the picture) to the point that action produces results, whereupon results produce change. The author instilled within me the latter form of inspiration, for I laughed all the way to Lowes, where I purchased a 50 ct. box of 42-gallon industrial strength contractors trash bags with which to spend my upcoming weekend. domesticity.gawker/throw-everything-out-1633115044/+leahfinnegan
