uncluttering one day and one thing at a time

I did get a lot of new items since my last post, but I also got rid of A LOT of things! I went through some of my dresser's drawers this week and filled up a few bags with clothes. I also systematically went through the two of the cabinets and drawers in the bathroom and found all kinds of things that don't belong! And I looked through a box and a basket in my closet which had plenty of random things, but also some useful items like a jewelry box!

I've found that once I start removing things I don't need/want, it becomes easier to determine what I actually need/want. I'm finally getting some open space so I can see what I have right away, rather than having piles of boxes full of mystery items. It's nice. :)

Here's my tally for the two weeks of August 13th - August 19th, and my cumulative progress.

Better than the last few weeks. I'm just glad ebooks aren't physical objects or else I'd have a TON more in items!

Here's my tally for the week of July 23rd - July 29th, and my cumulative progress.

This week I found something very important while tending to my dresser...MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE! I've kind of been needing that! And my short, nude socks for my flats, but those are less important. Other than that, it was a lazy week, but at least I'm still in the negatives.

Here's my tally for the week of July 9th - July 15th, and my cumulative progress.

I'm still focusing on my dresser. It's slow going, but more progress has been made doing one item at time, than when I tried to sit down and just do it all. I didn't finish any of the shampoo or other products, but I should next week.

Here's my tally for the week of June 25th - July 1st, and my cumulative progress.

I've been slowly but surely picking away at my dresser. I found a bunch of games that I don't play, so I sold those to Amazon, along with a few DVDs. I should be getting $18.50 for that, so yay! Amazon's buy back program is kind of addicting, so I wonder what else I'll find stashed away. This week I'm going to continue going through this dresser.

I threw out that giant stuffed frog from my ex, as well as other stuffed animals from him! I just decided that it needs to be done, so why not today? I feel a little uneasy knowing that I put someone's gifts in the trash, but I'm sure it'll be better than feeling sad every time I look at one of them. Now I have my storage bin back, and was able to put stuff away that had been cluttering my room. :)

Instead of going through my closet and drawers like I intended, I went through a box I used to keep random items in. Hence, a few random items in the OUT list. I also just looked around my room and grabbed things that I felt I didn't really need. I also moved the photos of me with my ex into the box where I keep old letters and birthday cards. The stuffed animals from him were shoved into a storage bin with other things I need to sort through. That's on my list of uncluttering projects, since I need this bin for actual storage, like the extra blankets that I don't need during the Summer. And now that I'm done with school for awhile, I can actually attempt to find something each day.
