  • What a great list, it sounds a lot like mine but I have started taking action this year. A good thing is to not set unachievable goals.

    Also, write down any small or large achievements you've made. I had a goal of getting rid of 200 items in 2 days (tip or charity) it was very easy and I itemised most items to see how much I'd cleared (but I got bored after a while!).

    Maybe we should start a support thread to hassle, I mean encourage each other to get things done on our lists? One of my biggest hassles that I've been putting off is selling 3 bin bags full of stuff on ebay :(

    Thanks for starting the thread.

    It made me feel better because I am quite organised with a number of those things.

    But it reminded me that I need to start a list of my own and decluttering will definitely be on there!:rotfl:Seems like the charity shops are going to be overflowing come January.

    That would pretty much be my list, plus a bit about doing more crafts and working hard on my coursework at Uni.



    15 crafts for 2015 challenge.
    Christmas 2015 - started to save/wrap!
    • Declutter my home and buy more storage for the stuff I need to keep.
    • Try to cook more from scratch after work (I get lazy after doing a 12 hour shift)
    • Run down freezer after Christmas and defrost.
    • Learn to use my sewing machine
    • Do some extra shifts on the nursing bank, put the earnings into savings.
  • That's a great list. I'm up for trying it :T
