I’m a bit late hearing about this, but I’m going to do this too. I’m going to make out my schedule tonight and start with my first 15 minute session tomorrow after work. So I’m starting on 2-25

Yes! I can’t believe I forgot to mention that it coincides with Lent! Yesterday was day 1, and I didn’t get to my designated spot to declutter until 8 pm, but I still did it! I ended up with a paper grocery bag full of old beauty products from under my bathroom sink. Since I was on a roll, I went through my cosmetic drawer too. It felt great!

This is just like Spring Cleaning!! Also, it ties in with Lent….40 Days, etc. That means we also have to give up something, and in keeping with the spirit of tossing OUT, I will not bring anything IN…(fresh milk, bread and bananas do not count!) I will try to creatively use all the food in my pantry and freezer, and stay out of the Walmart and Goodwill where I ALWAYS find something that is “such a good deal”, I HAVE to have it!, and don’t really NEED it…, and be thankful for all I do already have. Thanks for bringing this challenge to our attention, it is just what I needed. I began “decluttering” about a year ago, getting mentally ready for a move after my husband retires soon, but after about the 3rd closet and chest of drawers, I got tired and distracted! How are you doing so far, Melissa??
