DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009! - Page 2

OH!!! I wanted to add that I think we should also count "virtual" clutter too, which is often just as stressful as real junk in our homes. So for every bookmark you delete (b/c you know you'll never need that resource anyway & you definitely don't need another website to check daily

) and for every put-off email reply you send & then delete the original, count a point!

Just in case anybody is as anal as me...you would have to throw away at least 5.5 items every day

I hear you!!! And I decluttered more than 2008 last year.

It is amazing how much *stuff* we have.

And, btw, some of our boxes in the garage were boxes in our garage when we lived in TX- we have lived in MI for almost 7 years.

i did allot today. w/ the fear of cps droping by at any min it also clean clean clean..
they said our house was ok, but had a gripe w/ the clothes piles

.. so quite a bit of that is GONE. .

( i had allot of hamedy downs) i moved adam out of 2t into 3 t, ( a little early, but it looks ok on him

) so all the 2's are in a bag awaiting my sister. i folded all the clothes. we got a new dresser, and i sorted threw away old holey clothes. and then picked and choose till each boy had a draw full and sent the rest to good will.. i still ahve a few laundy left to wash and i know there are some 2T in there.
i bagged all baby girl clothes from 0-6 months.. but. i don't have it in my heart to get rid of them yet.. the next big challenge is my clothes.i need to declutter them. i have a bad habit of keeping everyting thinking o ill fit that again..

3 bags shredded mail. 1 pile recycling+4 plastic bottles. two worn out dress-up things.

10 so far.

charla · 01-07-2009, 02:43 PM

I'm counting items I've gotten rid of since January 1.

21 items - videos and toys

joyful mama · 01-07-2009, 04:03 PM

1 + 11 craft and bday stuff = 12 + 16 clothes to give to my sister

=28

Teribear · 01-07-2009, 04:08 PM

I'm in. I did a major decluttering the first few days of the year already so I'm going to start out with 25 (which believe me is conservative...I filled up two of those HUGE green city trash cans and had three bags out side it still) and count from here.
