ugh wrong number, I shorted myself 100 items!

307/1000

Bottles of partially-full stuff that is really old and we never will use (cleaners, aerosol hair spray, personal care items). I did not count the empty, obviously trash bottles as I do not count trash in my Daily Tally. Only things I would normally keep/have kept/saved.

207/1000

1 big ugly dirty stroller gone! Someone gave it to me and when I saw how dirty it was I put it on my yard with a "free" sign on it. Someone grabbed it.

303/1000

Lost my count for the week - things happen, but today I worked on
The garden
The barn
And
The porch

New week starts tomorrow.

SubC, you are persisting!

I got my two days off and will be updating throughout! This morning I threw out 6 items which included 4 old, ripped dog toys that were probably smelly and had stuffing about to come out.

302/1000

Yesterday studio and yard - I planted some of the pussy willows.

Studio - 2
Yard - 3

Day 2, pottery studio work and planted the irises from my student.

Studio - 1
Yard - 2

New week.

At this point the garden is maintenance,so even though I pulled a few weeds. I am not counting garden work any more. Only progress, not maintenance.

Also, the work I did in the barn today was overdue animal care, I did it do anyth8ng that actually made the barn better, so I am only counting planting things in the yard.

Yard - 1

This week should be yard/barn/and studio focused.

Yard and garden today

Garden - 6
Porch - 3
Studio - 1
Basement - 3
Barn - 1
Yard - 1

And so ends week 2

Good choices!

I worked almost 7 hours in the garden (maybe more like almost six with breaks)

Garden - 5
Porch - 3
Studio - 1
Basement - 3
Barn - 1

Wow SubC, you have been doing amazing while I was gone! Great work and very inspiring! I am back to join you.

Today I tossed out an old washcloth, a pair of underwear, and a nonstick pan that has the nonstick flaking off.

Yesterday I worked on the garden and a little on the barn. Still making progress somewhere every day and pretty much "keeping up."

Garden - 4
Porch - 3
Studio - 1
Basement - 3
Barn - 1

I've been keeping a running list of things I "added to my plate" and trying to clear them off as part of "keeping up" (which also includes laundry, dishes, mail, email, rinsing the recycling, and occasional vacuuming)

So, for example, I picked some beets at school the other day. I added "beets" to my list and then took them off once I had washed them and stored both the tops and the roots separately and ready to use. I also put "summer reading program" on my list so I can keep an eye on places I have committed my time.

Updated from yesterday:

Garden - 3
Porch - 3
Studio - 1
Basement - 3

Garden - 2
Porch - 3
Studio - 1
Basement - 2

Basement - 2
Dining porch - 2
Garden - 1

(I forgot the basement under catch up on the other thread - I just straightened up a little.)

Ok, starting week two
Basement - 1
Dumping, I mean dining, porch - 1

After this week, I'm not planting anything else in the garden until later for a fall garden.

Yesterday garden.

Week one:

Garden 7
Studio 2
Yard 2
Barn 2
Basement 1
Garage 1

I made progress at least one place every day.

Yesterday was garden and barn, today was garden and garage.

Also, I added wrong, so now the corrected total is:
Garden 6
Studio 2
Yard 2
Barn 2
Basement 1
Garage 1

The tally is the number of days I did something to make the zone better. Some days it's only removing one item or putting some things away, and other days it might be a few hours.

I think the most important thing right now is that I am paying regular attention and not just letting things slide.

How did you do Lila?

Yay, SubC! You are doing great! I am glad you came back to Tally with me!

I have not started working on the Tally for today, but that's next, and I will come back and add to my tally!

Yesterday I worked on the garden and the studio again.
Garden 3
Studio 2
Yard 2
Barn 1
Basement 1

Today I worked on the garden and the yard, and the studio.

Garden 3
Yard 2
Studio 1
Barn 1
Basement 1

Today I only worked on the garden.
Garden 2
Basement 1
Barn 1
Yard 1

So I got about 10% of the way to my goal and lost interest again.

Lila, maybe you will teach me perseverance.

Meanwhile, something new - today I worked on:
The garden
The barn
The yard
The basement.

Probably next week I will start taking things places. Or Wednesday. This week I'm trying to stay home except for Wednesday, and home does not have trash, recycling, or charity pick up, so unless I burn it or compost it, it just stays here.

Adding for today: 45 pieces of clothing, gone from my house forever!

So far today I donated a pencil art kit, a small toy, a little box of fake tattoos, a new 3 ring binder, and an iron-on patch.
