Weekend uncluttering

What have you uncluttered this weekend?

I've been throwing out empty containers from the laundry, but not much else. Electronically, I've been filing emails. I'm joining some friends doing a 100 day project, nominally starting 1st September. My goal is to sort through all the unfiled/flagged emails I've had lying around for far too long. So, I created the File of Shame, moved everything older than two days in there, got rid of some 'temporary' folders that I haven't looked in in months, and came up with nearly 3,000 emails. I've dealt with nearly 300! Sure, these are easy ones (school notices from last year, junk mail, Facebook notifications), but every little bit helps!

Finally went through a box of papers I had labeled "shred" and shredded them. I put some shoes and clothes and other items that don't really fit/I don't like to wear in boxes and need to take those out to the car to join the other boxes I already put in it so I can donate them later today. Put together two cube storage things so I can use them to organize and get rid of the cardboard they're in (all the cardboard requires further breaking down and packing so I can recycle it at the center, but they're all in one spot now). And I finally mustered the courage to dig through the pile of junk in the loft to figure out what was trash, what was recycleable, and what needed to actually get stored somewhere, which also means I dug out the ceiling fan I took down from my bedroom that I need to clean and paint and put back up, which I couldn't do any of because it was buried in junk.

It still sort of doesn't feel like as much as I'd like, because there's still a lot of paperwork to sort and file and other things that need cleaning and projects that need doing, but it does at least feel better.

Wow that is a lot! And well done on the extra effort for dealing with the junk in the loft.
