I spent the time after the holidays decluttering. It feels so good to get rid of that extra stuff – plus it makes cleanup much easier. I store stuff to donate in a big bin in the garage. Then we make it a point to donate it by the end of the month so the stuff doesn’t wind up coming back into the house!

Semi-Demi-Exboyfriend was very good at yard sales — he loves to shop them, and he loves to throw them. He’s also pretty fair at steady decluttering, except for his collection of bargain food items (“Klingon food,” as I used to call it; he called it “food futures”). When he lived with me, we always had a box in the garage where we tossed any junk we thought we could sell. About once every six to twelve months, he’d put on a yard sale, and amazingly, we managed to pawn almost all the stuff off on other people. When we closed the sale, we would drag the leftovers out to the curb and put up a sign saying “FREE,” and by the next morning every bit of it would be gone.

He used to say it made him feel lighter to get rid of the junk. :-D

Great job on the decluttering progress! I need to take a picture of the before of my own decluttering challenge project and send it to you. It’s rather scary.

S.O.S

Select an area – clear it. Make it a small manageable area.

Organize – sort, trash, put away.

Stash – put the sorted items in containers and return them to their home. Dump the junk. Sometimes selling unwanted items is more trouble than it’s worth. Drop them at the Goodwill, or Boomerangs and get on with using the energy you get from decluttering.

I got rid of about 400 items last week. A little trash and a lot for the local shelter and thrift store. Feels good to get the crap out of the house. And I have lots more to go!
