整理生活：你需要立马丢掉的10件东西

The first step to taking care of yourself and de-stressing is to make sure that your environment is in order. Seeing your house full of clutter can affect your mood negatively and make your personal space seem like a place you want to escape from, rather than something to look forward to coming home to. Organize a "throwing out" day every month to make sure that you don't have clutter building up. Here are some things you should consider purging from your home:
照顾好自己并减轻压力的第一步就是要确保你的环境处于有序状态。乱糟糟的屋子会让你的心情变遭，让你的个人空间看起来像是你想逃离的地方，而不是你期待回家的地方。每月安排一天“扔掉日”，以免你的杂物堆成山。下面的这几种东西，你该考虑一下，把它们从家中移走。

Old magazines
旧杂志

Get rid of old magazines you have lying around because chances are, you aren't going to read them again. Find places where you can donate your magazines to such as child care centers, doctor's offices, nail salons, nursing homes, and libraries. If there's an article that really speaks to you, scan a digital image of it and keep it in your computer. Or keep a folder of magazine clippings if you like saving magazine articles.
把成堆的旧杂志移走吧。因为你很有可能不会再看它们了。找一些可以捐出杂志的地方，如儿童护理中心、医生办公室、美甲沙龙、育婴房和图书馆等。如果杂志里有一篇文章说出了你的心声，可以用扫描仪扫描成电子版本，把它存到电脑中。或者，如果你喜欢保存杂志文章，可以把杂志剪报保留到文件夹中。

Receipts, bills, and documents
收据、账单及文档

Throw away receipts for items that you aren't planning on returning, and ones that you won't need to use come tax time. If you're wary of throwing away receipts, you can make a digital copy of them with a basic scanner, a pricey specialized receipt scanner, or a smartphone app.
扔掉你不准备退货的商品收据以及缴税时不需要用的收据。如果你担心收据会有用，你可以用扫描仪、收据专用扫描仪、或手机应用软件把收据转成电子版。

Clothes
衣服

Use the two-year-rule for clothes — get rid of apparel that you haven't worn in two years. Sell them to a thrift store or donate them to the needy.
使用两年规则——把你两年内没穿过的衣服清理掉。把它们卖给二手店或把它们捐给有需要的人。

Books
图书

Go through your bookshelf and gather together books you haven't touched in months and ones that you aren't planning on rereading. Be realistic and make sure you're ruthless. If you haven't touched it in a year, you're most likely not going to read it again.
去看看你的书架，把你几个月没碰过的书和你不打算重读的书放到一起。实事求是，果断些。如果你一年内也没碰过那本书，很有可能不会再去看它。

Medicine and vitamins
药物和维生素

Take a look at your medicine closet and clear out drugs that have expired, medicine that has sat on your shelf for too long, or ones that you no longer use. First, check to see what the proper disposal methods are for the medication, and if you can't find any, check to see if your community has a drug take-back program.
看看你的药箱，把过期的药、在药箱里呆的时间过长的药或你不再会用的药清除出去。首先，看看药物的的恰当处置方法，如果你找不到，那就去看看你的社区是否有药物回收活动。
