1. Pick what size of trash bag you want to use.2. Each week day for eight weeks fill one bag (or equivalent). It can be a bag of stuff, toys, clothes, papers – anything, a box of books, an old TV. Anything that you can count as clutter is fair game.
3. Update on your blog how it goes.
4. Have fun.
I started last week, and managed five bags between Monday and Thursday. I am behind on this week, as I was away on Monday and succumbed to a cold yesterday, but I'm hoping to catch up by Friday. I am using large supermarket carrier bags - the home delivery ones that are bigger than the standard checkout version. Not as good as the big black sacks would be but more realistic, and big enough to make a dent in the clutter.
My scores for the first week:
2 bags of books 2 bags of old and outgrown clothes 1 bag of jigsaws.
Out the door to where? Is the idea to donate, sell and/or throw away?
ReplyDeleteThis works perfectly with what I am already doing.
ReplyDeleteI assume that your clutter is going to be recycled.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to clear though, I need to do this.
Good for you! And don't get discouraged for being behind. Every little bit helps!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a worthwhile challenge!
ReplyDeleteThat would get rid of most of our things! I firmly believe in keeping things to a minimum! I've moved alot!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your book tour!
