Apparently, most people wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time.
For me, this is so true. I always wear the same clothes, whatever the season. Jeans. tee-shirt, sweater sort of thing. In winter, add another layer, in summer take one away.
My wardrobe is 80% full of clothes I never wear, hangovers from when I worked and had to look respectable - or when I was slimmer or fatter. The same with shoes - most of them will be too high, too narrow, too tight for my feet that have now spread into crocs and boots. So why do I keep them? Because I can't beat to throw anything away, maybe?
I have a plan. Next year I'm going "shopping" in my wardrobe. Find something "new" to wear each week . If it feels right, it can go back in the wardrobe, if it doesn't, its recycled/repurposed.
I could apply the 20/80 theory to seeds too. Probably 20% of my seeds are sown every year, the other 80% go back in the box for another time - maybe. Its time to let some more seeds run free in the garden.
Hands up, what % of your clothes do you wear.........and seeds do you grow?
