Question for 365 items out

[dialecticdreamer]

Do you count bags of "recyclable random papers" as one thing? or does the goal imply "usable objects I no longer want, or broken objects to trash?"

I'm supposed to be on item number fifty today, and I'm at... thirteen.

It's disheartening.

I've got a bag of "things to drop in the charity bin when we run errands" but that has to wait for Sunday errands, and I don't want to count the items until they are actually OUT the door. (Things happen to derail that plan, you know.)

Another trick that I use to discourage things making their way back into the house is to pack them in boxes and then tape the box shut with packing tape - no-one knows what's inside then and if scissors are needed to break tape it's another deterrent to them migrating from the box.
