I read an article quite a while ago about decluttering titled something like "reclaim your ground". I can't find it again but ie: decluttering a cupboard, drawer, counter, etc that you get to your satisfaction and maintain it...only to take on something else another time. I'm always on a time crunch so this works well for me to tackle little areas as time permits and try to maintain them. We have been maintaining our recycling thankfully and since we use feedsacks/large dog food bags to collect the recyclables, we are at least getting those things reused at least once anyway. We've also kept up with getting the grocery bags back to the store for recycling too. I've gotten a few shelves and cupboards clear of some expired items and so a little more space there. It's taking up quite a bit more time to fill the thrift box but slow and steady. Laura S. That's fantastic that you got your craft room to 98%! That must feel sooo good. Great job.

Anna that sounds like a nice set up for your office...good job!
Catahoula Cate good for you for finding a way to stay on top of the recycling. It can overflow and sidetrack you from other decluttering projects.
