De-cluttering week 1!

Uh oh... that sounds ominous! But it wasn't too bad. Although, I managed to fall behind almost straight away! I sprained my hand this week so a lot of my time has been spent not doing things and being chauffeured around the place! But a quick catch up!

Tuesday – Be courageous ~ Declutter and item that someone else gave you that you are only keeping out of fear they may notice it gone.

I was given many years ago by a student a wooden photo album. It's not really my thing, I prefer to scrapbook and most of my photos either sit in a frame or in storage before that! Except for my really special albums! So I am selling it on ebay. I'm not sure that it will sell but hey - it was kinda fun!

Wednesday – Be generous ~ Donate something today that you are considering selling. It is quicker to donate anyway.

I have lots of doubles of books, lots of doubles - maybe even some triples! So I thought that I would start by looking in my bookshelf. I was thinking that I could sell them on ebay - but instead I'll give them to our minister. I'm not really sure of someone they would benefit at the moment and he might have a better idea! So, A Sneaking Suspicion by John Dickson is the first one to be given a new home!

Thursday – Be impulsive ~ Declutter an item today that you have never really considered for decluttering before. Go on there is bound to be something you haven’t noticed that really is excess to your needs.

I thought about this most of the day, but was coming up with blanks. So I'm going to do another book today. It was something that, until yesterday, I hadn't thought of. So the next one is Boy Meets Girl by Joshua Harris.

Friday – Be decisive ~ Find an object you have been procrastinating over decluttering for some time and get it out of there.

Well today, it's not really a single item. But something I have been procrastinating about is the paper build up in our study. Gradually over this week I've been attacking it and we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. So today I am going to spend 5 minutes more working on this paper back log and declutter. It's such a good feeling.

So, there you go! My week of de-cluttering so far! If you or anyone you know could benefit from the two books that I mentioned about let me know! Happy to pass them on to where they might be used!

360 less things!!!! Whoo!
