Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

How goes the uncluttering this weekend?

I have rearranged more books, finding at least four to rehome in the process. I've also cleared an area of floor that I had despaired of ever getting clear! I had hopes of more, but today was not that day.

And in the virtual decluttering -- I've been reading everyone's posts and comments, congratulations on all you are achieving! I just haven't had it in me to reply, and I'm giving myself permission to move everything out of my inbox and into my archive. :} I'm so proud of the group we have here, and the steady progress everyone is making.

Okay, this SOUNDS like a lot, but honestly, the difference isn't terribly noticeable. I went through my desk bin and didn't find much to part with.

I shipped a box of handmedowns to a friend.
Gave away/friends picked up 3 things from fb offers.
I took a pile of 4 things to the consignment store.
I recycled tons of school paperwork.
Took a bag of shirts to the secondhand store.
Handled the mending pile.
Cleaned out my email of unneeded receipts (Yes, I KNOW I went to this coffee shop every week, no need to keep those receipts!)
Added a thing to the donation pile (This weekend's total of things added: one.)
Recycled what I could from my desk bin.

Currently:
Waiting for Spouse to go through school paper work (it's only fair, I went through mine!) and recycle it.
I've got a thing listed to give away on fb and I expect no one to take it.
Spouse listed 2 things to sell on fb, I've shared the ad on my fb.
And I have 2 things newly added to the mending pile. That I just finished. UGH.
Deciding what to do with a crib/toddler bed and a changing pad to get them out of the house. Will probably give away the crib to a charity and throw the changing pad in the trash, we are at least the 3rd family to use the pad. It's well used.

You are right -- it sounds like a lot, because it *is* a lot! Sympathies that it hasn't made any appreciable difference though

I saw a few more bins in storage I could go through and condense. That will be visible progress, albeit in a part of the house we don't visit daily.

I did just throw away the changing pad, added a thing to the donation pile, and packed up a new fb offer to mail. I expected to get nothing done this week so I'm happy with this.

I agree with fred_mouse that you have done a lot!

I hope the extra bins help you make some visible progress and feel as accomplished as you've definitely been.

Oh, nice to have a plan that will lead to visible progress -- great for the motivation!
