2020 Decluttering Support and Motivation - Page 27

Catahoula Cate · 12-29-20, 10:35 AM

I have not done much for decluttering recently other than organizing and getting caught up on paperwork. But, in retrospect, it's been a more productive year for me with decluttering than I've had in a while. I sold some larger items like gardening equipment and an antique sewing machine which gave me a little nice pocket change along with more room. We donated a lot to the thrift shop mostly as books and some clothes and got some framed prints to a silent auction for charity. A few elbow grease cleaning projects as well. Nice to feel like I'm ending the year on a good note in that regard. I hope to get started again with some projects after the New Year.

We started cleaning out the attic a couple of day ago and have already thrown a few things away, and found a few things to donate. I'm going to sort through all my Christmas/holiday decorations and reorganize them before I pack them all away. I have been wanting to do that for years.

I printed the 52 week list and January daily calendar for the Taylor At Home Solutions 2021 Declutter 365. I have tried so many times to do this and when I've actually managed to start it never make it past a week. Maybe 2021 is the year??

Finally cleaned out my closet. Donating items that are in good condition. I even tackled my dresser and donated clothing that doesn't work with at WFH life.

I have a drawer full of work polo shirts. Guess what I will be wearing for zoom meetings?

Emptied 3 banker boxes full of paper documents no longer needed. Not sure why we were hanging on to them in the first place.

Emptied a 4th banker box filled with cookbooks and recipes in binders. This is a banker box that we dumped all of our rarely-or-never-used cookbooks in 1-2 years ago and then stored in the basement to revisit later. Well, we finally revisited and I'm only saving one cookbook from the box (the Oh She Glows cookbook because there are at least two recipes in there I might reference in the future). Will put 2 of the slow cooker recipe books (never used) on share the wealth.

Filling up the garbage and recycling cans with old paperwork and files on New Year's Eve. I sure know how to live it up.
