Anybody want to join in on a challenge for us to see how much we can all declutter together?

In this challenge we all post a daily tally of what has left our homes.
We can count by bags or boxes or
we can count by individual items.
Guestimates as to amounts in a bag or box count too.

Lets see if together we can reach over a thousand.

Example...
Yesterday I tossed 3 pieces of junk mail
Total 3
Today I tossed 1 bag of kitchen trash and found 2 items for the donation bag.
Total 3

Running total=6

At the end of the month we will total up everybodys totals and see how much we did together. 😀

This contest starts June 1st.

That's ok Kara. We're probably all depressed here to some degree which has been part of the problem in not cleaning our hoards. I'm just starting to come out of one of my slumps and am lucky to keep up with daily chores.

But keep reading and please post of your sadness if you wish. It's good to be cheered on but it's also comforting to know your have friends here who will understand your downs as well.

Try to get some rest, fresh air and good nutrition. Take good care of yourself. {{{hugs}}}

I would love to join you guys, but I am too depression to continue with my de-hoarding process. I wish all of you the best. I will join in when I I am better.

WOW! WTG diane! 😀

I would definitely say that your total is around 500 too. 😀

I love this new challenge too. It kind of makes me wish that I had more stuff to give away. 🙂

Love this new challenge, right when I am not enjoying working at organizing. Today I took 4 garbage bags full of clothes, artsy stuff, hats, exercise weights, bag of books, all kinds of stuff, to the high school, sports teams were having a fundraiser sale, sure wish I would have counted it first. I will be counting from now on, makes it a little more interesting.

Today I took all of the stuff that I wanted to get rid of from the fire station to goodwill. 🙂

That stuff was: 95 pairs of shoes, over 100 bags and purses, and 2 trash bags full of clothes.

While I was in the process of putting the clothes, that I didn't want anymore, into the 2 trash bags I didn't bother to count them.

But if I had to guess the amount of clothes that I got rid of, I would say that I got rid of probably close to 300 items of clothing.

Which would make my total somewhere around 500. 🙂
