Anybody up for March Madness - Decluttering Style?

[vysila]

It's been a while since I did any major decluttering and thought it might be fun and motivating to make a game of it instead of a chore.

So, let's play a decluttering game for March Madness. On March 1st (yes, sorry I'm a day late) declutter one item. It could be anything - a piece of paper or a sofa! On March 2nd, declutter two items. And so on each day, until by March 31st, you are decluttering 31 items that day. If you follow that simple rule every day, by the end of March you will have decluttered 496 items! Isn't that an amazing number?

Nothing says you have to do the entire month, of course. I'm not sure I will manage that myself. But every item gone is a win, in my book.

Yesterday I decluttered an old worn out swim suit. Who knows what it will be today, once I take a look around.

What do you say? Wanna go mad with me this month?

I have been thinking it is time to do another round of "gather up the stuff and get rid of it" - March Madness is as good an excuse as anything else :D

I have 3 bags of clothing bundled up and ready to go to Goodwill and a basket of more stuff upstairs that needs to come down and get put into a bag.

I tend to gather up things in the garage until I have a carload - but I will attempt to keep track of what I get rid of this month!

I also need to take my old tv to the electronics recycling.

Next weekend is supposed to NOT rain (so far, anyway) - so I think I shall target that as my day to pack up the car and get it out - which means this weekend I need to go around and collect up the stuff!

Oh gosh, I can imagine how many clothes you've been able to declutter over the past months. And the old TV, wow, that's a big item to declutter. How wonderful you've been quietly working away on the decluttering all this time. Hope you continue to make good progress.

I have to admit that I am *not* brave enough to get rid of most of the clothing. For now, I am putting things away - at some point I will be brave enough to actually get rid of stuff that is too big. But I just don't trust that I won't need it again in the future.

One day!

I do hope you get to the point that you can trust you won't need it again, but in the meantime just getting it out of the house and boxed up in the garage is a huge bonus!
