The past few days for me have been multitasking the clutter zones..Even though so much is now gone, I can still find more to get rid of. Just today, I was going through the kitchen to the laundry and happened to look to the top of my cabinets ---I spied a punch bowl that hasn't seen any use in 3 years or more! down it came, wiped it out and in the goodwill box it went...that is how my decluttering is happening right now--when I see it and I feel the need-- it goes!!!
My goal tomorrow is more of that dreaded paperwork that we all deal with. I have my husband's paycheck stubs all the way back to 1987! Yeah--don't think we need them, but I will scan them and burn them to a flash drive first and then shred, shred, shred! The only originals that I will keep are ones that show a wage garnishment for taxes...that is it...
Way to go everybody on this journey of en"lighten" ment!!!1
Thanks for the encouragement. This decluttering process has been on going for years but I've gotten pretty ruthless over the past 18mths so the house is a million times better than it was. The little kids rooms are an ongoing issue though. Also I have a great dresser that we use as a tv stand in the living room and it holds all the school supplies and video games but one of the drawers had the bottom bust out because there was too much stuff in it. So I think that's going to be my next project.
And I just realized that I have a cabinet in the garage that would be perfect for YDD's tv! Yay for repurposing!
