I am participating in White House Black Shutter’s 40 Bags in 40 Days 2015 challenge. This challenge officially started last Wednesday, on the 18th of February. I started a day or so late – you can really do this any time. It is started on this date to coincide with Lent, but you don’t have to do it for this reason (I’m not).
What I love the most about it is the planning template and the ideas of places to declutter. I had difficulty stopping at 40. Maybe I won’t. So far I’ve chosen a mix of big and small tasks, some I’ve completed quickly, some have taken longer, some I thought I’d complete but only got half way through. I don’t think it really matters – it’s about momentum. I’m already finding stuff that I had no idea I still had and getting rid of stuff is easier than it has been in a long time.
Day 1 I cleared out the junk drawer / BP’s coin drawer and took $130 to the bank.
Day 2 I cleared out the expired medicines and returned them to the chemist. I also gave away a Little Squirt nappy hose that I bought second hand at the beginning of our BNN challenge and which never fitted our toilet properly.
Day 3 I worked on Little Fearse’s wardrobe and got rid of a large stack of old greeting cards.
Will you join me? I’m posting pretty much daily on our Facebook page, I’d love to see your progress, too.
A little late, but I will join you too! I’ve been talking decluttering for ages yet have not managed to really start – yet!
Yay! Glad to have you in my corner Dale.
I like the idea! I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep up with it, but I’ll certainly declutter over the coming few weeks 🙂
I’m finding it easier to do lots Queen I’m on a roll then have a few days off. Do what works, I say!
Queen = when haha
I was going to go HUH? LOL.
Was that a Royal mistake? 😉
