Here is our new Daily Tally thread for 2026. Use it however you wish, to keep track of your progress!

My goal for this year is 360 items gone from my home, not counting trash.

That was my original goal for last year, and I crushed it! I have significantly less stuff in my home now, so I think 360 will be a challenge. Here we go!

2026: 0/360

2025: 604/500 items gone!

2024: 600/600 items gone!

2023: 1002+ items gone!

Total: 2206+ items gone!

Nothing to add today, but I am copying my tally numbers and saving them in case this whole thread disappears with the new "rebuilt" website release 🙁

Good work Lila!

I am going to carry your storage bin concern over to the what are you doing thread. I hope you don't mind.

Alright, time to get this thing going again. I am not getting rid of enough stuff.

This morning I looked around my bathroom, got rid of one container I have been hanging onto for months but not using, as it is plastic and I am trying to switch to mostly glass, and one hair product I have had for probably 8 years but don't like it but hold onto it and use it like once every 3 months. It is just taking up space on my counter at this point, I don't even like it and it will take me until I am 90 at this rate to use it up, so out it went. 2 items gone.

I feel like stopping sometimes, too, SubC.

I worry my garage will become a storage unit when TotsFam moves out. We will just keep plugging along.

1 large office chair, 2 other random items, out forever.

We are still going, SubC!

Today I threw out 3 containers I was using but just got tired of them. Hey, it's something!

Yesterday I threw out a pair of worn out garden shoes.

Also the new truck arrived. I am counting it in because we will have two trucks until we take the other one to Ds in the fall. If I forget to count the other one out then, that's ok.

Also the very slow package of Legos to redesign my little man's house arrived, but I am not counting them in because I can hold them in a closed hand and they are going to become part of an already counted set.

So I am calling it even.

I do want to say that I put the new playroom toys neatly away on shelves in the playroom for my boys to discover.

Working in my studio this evening - unpacked 29 pots I brought home from the city studio. I can't remember if I counted any of them (some were from an earlier box), but I have so many I'm just going to say I didn't.

I also found one thing to add to the car.

Net out - 118
Pots +38
Bins - 3

So I need to sell 39 pots this weekend.

So I took everything to the thrift store - about two bins worth. I also dropped off some books I had already counted out (included in the "about two bins worth). The little free library was very full. And very tempting. Also I spent $1 on an adorable giant rabbit bag. It is for carrying the Easter eggs for the hunt next year. It will fit in the egg bin. I am +6. Not counting a few things that are going straight in the "take to Birdy" bin and the "future baby" bin.

Sometimes I feel like I have come far enough and I just want to stop. But then I look at the basement and I know I have not. I'm starting to understand stand why people get storage units. If I had a storage unit, I could put all the holiday/dd2/"baby library" bins in it and my basement would be organized and functional by summer..

Don't worry, I'm not going to do that.

In - two books and two 4" toy chairs.
The chairs came with a replacement table and will fit in the play set box, but I feel like I need to count them because I've been pretty "addy" lately.

I am glad you are still here and staying accountable.

One box of dog meds, that belonged to my pup who died last year. Expired long ago but I could not bring myself to throw them out. But I finally did.

Good job Lila.

I am also trying to make better choices about fixing things. Yesterday I stopped and fixed one thing instead of putting it aside to fix. It took five minutes. Then I put it away properly. I started to fix another thing and realized how much time and effort I was going to put into it and how unsatisfactory the results were going to be and I got rid of it. I didn't even put it on my "replace" list.

So yesterday, besides trash and recycling, 19 things out and nine pots.

Net out: 145
And 10 pots.
