OK, let me just say, anyone who decluttered even ONE item last week is WINNING! Every bit that I get out of my space I feel is a personal victory! Now if I could stop brining stuff IN – but I digress.
Week 2. Not gonna lie here folks – we have some pretty big numbers for week two. BUT – we can do it, right? Yeah – totally. We can do this. Same as last week – seven numbers for 7 days of the week and one bonus number for the “in the zone and not stopping now” people. I did all 8 last week and I’m not sad about it. I got a lot of items out of my closets that needed to go. And drawers. And other random areas. I do find myself looking at things now with a “do I really need/want this in my space anymore” focus. The total for Week 1 was 71 items without the bonus – and 99 with the bonus. Week two is making week 1 look like decluttering for amateurs.
Week 2 is coming in hot with 162/180 items. Dang – that’s a lot more but WE GOT THIS!
I’m not gonna lie. This one is making me a bit nervous, but it’s all good. One day at a time – one item at a time. I’m going to follow my own advice. Pick an area of focus, set a timer, and start going through items in that area of focus. Mark off on the box as items are placed in the box.
Anyone have any tips or tricks to share from your experience last week? I need to get rid of the 99 items from last week, so they’re going to someone holding a fundraiser garage sale – and they’re going next week. I need this stuff OUT of my house and then maybe I’ll feel as if some progress has been made.
Week 2 – here we come!!!
