2018 - RULE OF 3 Decluttering challenge

Whatshername

Haven’t completed any decluttering this weekend so planning on making a big effort today and tom to catch up.

Have been good and found a few more bits to bin today as well as a few more bits to pop on eBay. Still sorting rather randomly rather than with any plan such as room to room.

Cant help wondering if I would feel I had made more progress if I had been through a whole room ?

Well done - really motivating to get some sales isn't it?

I've had a good start so must stay motivated. It's easy to get discouraged though when something doesn't sell. However I'm going to adopt the approach of someone on here- sorry i can't remember who!-list it twice then if it doesn't go the charity shop can benefit.

It's my daughter's 21st next month so the proceeds have gone towards a lovely bracelet

The trouble with the whole room approach is it takes a lot of time commitment and it can be worse before it gets better - which if you have a lot other commitments living in even more of a state can be just grim.

The odd things at a time approach means eventually you suddenly notice things are better. Bookshelves get clearer cupboards don't attack you.

Of course I am saying all this and going to tackle the conservatory at the weekend!

Sorry I haven't posted sooner. I have been sorting my 3 items per day, I have a couple of bags to go to the charity shop on Friday and after sorting my boys toy boxes I must have thrown away almost 6 months worth of 3 a day in rubbish and broken toys. I've only bought stuff for the house that we really need as well so that should help a bit too.

Decluttered my craft cupboard today- one of those jobs you start and then wonder what on earth you were thinking half way through....:rotfl:

Got rid of another 30 odd items today. Then disaster struck as my mum unpacked the cs box back into the house whilst she was babysitting ���� Will start fresh with them again tomorrow!
