I am the type that buys packs from card companies so as to have assorted cards on hand when the need arises. In looking through my stash yesterday, I found quite a few very ugly cards that I would be embarrassed to send to anyone. I threw them out.
We have been simplifying for 50 days! Are you still on board? Keep up the great work! One of you had a comment that stirred an idea. She said she was still in the overwhelmed stage with certain rooms in the house bursting with clutter. Here's the challenge: how about if we pick a room for the next 20 days to ATTACK! If you don't have a room like that, that's OK, but most of us probably do. For 20 days, we take out at least one thing per day. Most of you are multiplying that many times over already with how much you have sorted, given away, etc. What do you think? What room will it be?
I love this "20 days" idea. I'm taking that challenge with my home office, better known as Josh's room :) It WILL be a challenge and much needed!
ReplyDeleteI just recently bought a travel trailer and that meant going through all of our storage bins full of camping stuff. It was great to see how much stuff will now be in the trailer and not my house! I also threw out a ton of stuff and have loads of room in my closets now. Now if I can just leave it that way ;-)
Ladies, I will be without Internet for two days, but keep going on your room challenge! Be back on Day 53! Take a "before" photo of chosen room so you can look back with pride after 20 days!!
ReplyDeleteHeather...I'm very impressed. Yea!
okay - I have to work on my basement anyway, so I will take the challenge...
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, a small tv and some sort of tv tuner thingie went into the give-away box today. I missed yesterday, so that's for today and yesterday.
Working on basement tonight - so there may be more later! Wooohooo!
worked on the basement a lot last night and today (2/20). most of the stuff we are sorting is my daughter's, so not counting her stuff as my "simplify" stuff. however - i put 2 music stands and 3 old suitcases in the give-away box and took another trip to Goodwill as my give-away boxes (i now have two of them) were already filled from my visit not even two weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteThe basement is definitely a work in progress, but I hope to have at least one section of it (almost half of it) cleared out, reorganized, and cleaned up in the 20-day challenge. :)
