How to De-Clutter

[Snowflake]

Well, after putting it off, not that I would mind going to a used book store to offload stuff, some titles are nice, expensive books and/or DVDs. So I listed 10 things on amazon this morning, already had 2 sales. So this is a good thing.

Inspired, I've managed to clean off my desk, and the miscellaneous piles of paper and started filling a shred bag for the office and took 3 bags of trash downstairs.

Pray I keep this up! Then I might acutally be able to vacuum up my room!

I think the freeing feeling will keep inspiring you. All it takes is to get one area done to inspire the rest. Way to go on a job well started!

Like iSm, I've become very restrained on buying new things for the last year or two. I instantly think, "Where will I put this?" and if I can't think of a place, I don't buy it. Same thing with clothes. I have clothing out the wazoo, most of which I don't even wear anymore. That's another of my de-clutter projects for this weekend.

As for books, we have one bookcase in the garage that is for all the dust-collecting novels that we love to re-read, but really aren't in condition for displaying. As for holiday decor, we're setting limits (number of containers) for each holiday. Whatever doesn't fit in that space gets donated. And, anything new will have to replace something old.

We're also going to clear out our off-site rented storage area and sifting through that as well. Once done, it will save us $55 per month.

I'm looking forward to being more free, having more space, time and money.
