Looking backwards, Looking forwards

Last year, fred_mouse made a weekend decluttering post inviting us talk about our decluttering goals for 2018.

I thought people might appreciate a post on the last day of 2018 to reflect on the goals we posted last year (for those who posted them and who want to look back -- no pressure or judgment! I certainly didn't achieve all my goals!) and what we hope to achieve in 2019.

I didn't have goals for 2018, here are some for 2019:

Books: I will to read more (at least 5) of the books that have been sitting around unread for a long time, and then likely get rid of them, unless any turn out to be keepers.

Yarn: Go through my stash and eliminate at least a bagful, and do *not* bring any new yarn into the house unless it has a very specific purpose, such as knitting a gift that absolutely can't be done with yarn on hand.

Photos: Take a look at all of the photos on our walls and bookshelves, and decide which we really want to display right now. I'm sure some could be put away and/or replaced by other more meaningful photos. This requires my spouse's cooperation, but I think that will work out.

I would like to do more general uncluttering but those are the specific tasks I can think of now. Thanks for making this post!

That's a really nice set of specific goals -- I know so many people who struggle with their yarn stash! Good luck with making progress with them, and with general uncluttering.
