unclutter | hello

For the last couple of years on LJ, I participated in uncluttering comms where we tried to each get rid of one thing per day, and one more thing for each new one we brought home.

For me, it was such a simple, and more importantly, achievable way of working away at the too many things cluttering our house (even though I never managed to stick with the challenge and the postings for the whole year). And even more than the less cluttered rooms, I appreciated the new focus I brought to shopping, because I found myself far more attentive to the question "Do I really need this?"

I encourage you to find method of counting/recording that works for you, maybe with daily posts, or running totals. I'd suggest using tags too, ~~including a user tag, so you can find your own posts easily~~. EDIT: A helpful hint fromafuna - We don't need individual users tags, and instead can filter to a particular member using this URL: http://unclutter.dreamwidth.org/?poster=beachlass

Happy New Year, and Good Luck!
