Good morning sweet Tina happy new year
It might be easier to do 30 to 1 instead of 1 to 30
Usually there are more at the beginning
We do this for workouts
12 days of Christmas
12 reps then 11 then 10 etc
Of a series of workouts
Situps arms etc.. then all of a sudden you’re at 5 reps and it’s easy peasy
Fridge items dont count lol
Eat your food !
Great pile
I did some yesterday
I’m selling my couch soon
Just going to replace with chairs I already have …and I have 1 couch already so its enough.
makes good sense.
Have a great day Tina
Good for you, Veronica Palin
What do you suggest for really personal items, such as old pieces/stories written/ writing journals years old/crafts I’ve started/craft items saved- you never know… things that are personal of nature- not really Knick-knack type stuff, but other.
That is a challenging one. I gave sculptures that I valued to others….and they decluttered and chucked them. Some were hundreds of dollars. It is tough to watch…sing the song, Let it Go !
Dan Gilson not quite ready to get rid of sculptures as guaranteed that will happen lol. Yes.. singing Let it go …
Agree with you – definitely a tough one. My hubby would say a scanner is a good solution for the writing/journals, etc. Digital copies take less physical space!
One thing I do too, for every piece of new clothing I bring into the house- I remove an old one (for second hand store)
Great idea, Patricia Atchison!
Tina Thrussell except clothing is a huge huge landfill issue… not ours but developing nations where all the crap clothes from the thrift shops bake them and dump them. The fashion industry is a major polluter. We constantly buy new styles and dump them at thrift shops while patting ourselves on the back. Buy few classic and quality and dump the flipping need for walk in closets.
Will step off the soap box now…..
Sherry Thrussell-Maligaspe I don’t constantly buy new fashions, nor pat myself on the back. I do understand the clothing issue, it’s usually when I go up and down in weight I have to replenish.
Patricia Atchison just making a general comment. Most people are not aware
Sherry Thrussell-Maligaspe yeah, when we were at Dad’s I saw a news piece in this. I do my best NOT to be a contributor! Rarely buy new myself. I buy at thrift stores where I take my gently used clothes when I’m done with them.
Tina Thrussell and you use them for a long time!! 😀. Carbon foot print in the industry is insane. Walk in closers are insane…
Lol. At the Vancouver Aquarium -How fitting.

Your doing the right thing !
yup yup!
Léa Savidan looking forward to the organization of what’s left after this major decluttering!
Way to go Tina. I decluttered my scrapbook area and donated a pile of stuff to a local church program
Great work, Jody Gail Kulak!
I get stalled by the “maybe so and so would like this…” or “this would be great for ____”… In the end, I have big piles that wait forever, then in frustration, I finally just donate it all to the salvation army thrift store. So, this time I am going to go that route right away and spare myself a ton of running around.
Tina Thrussell just drop right away.. lol
