I did well in January. Need to keep the focus going in February.

4 Christmas coffee cups and 2 other coffee cups are out for the bag. 1 lunch box, 2 dog collars and 2 dog outfits are ready to go.
Started going through paper work, will shred some and recycle the rest.

I cleared out two desk drawers of receipts and paid bill statements. J will burn them for me.

I cleaned off the top of the armoire in the den after getting the photos into the album. I pitched the extra envelopes and packaging. So freeing!

Still more to go through, but I'm clearing things out!

I am slowly and surreptitiously decluttering DH's sh*t. Emptied one of his boxes today.

Trying to organize some of my closet stuff - no so much decluttering but could have the same results.

It's universal. DH has much more stuff then I do, plus a whole garage full. It is certainly a challenge

This afternoon (late) I started cleaning alittle more in my room. I have 1/4 to 1/2 bag of trash, found some more sheets for Kim for the animal shelter, starting another pile for Goodwill, and have some sacks the reusable ones that I can donate along with a ton of plastic ones (never got taken to Kroger's for recycling--keep forgetting them) to a resale shop.

My room is looking better but if you saw it, you wouldn't know it. Long ways to go!

I am always saying how much trash I get out of it but it is like envelopes from bills that are on desk when I pay them, list I make, more and more papers that I decide no reason to keep that I can find on internet, crafts stuff I printed and will never do, magazines and etc.. Not like food or stuff like that.

Finished cleaning my drawers and wardrobe. Donated some jeans that do not fit (too big YAY) and a garbage bag full of other clothes, a pack of new panty hose and a few other thing are ready to go.

Looking through my coloring books, I took out three I will not ever choose and I put those in my donation box. I started an Octopus/Sea Turtle coloring page last night after dinner. I listened to white noise with bells while coloring. Very relaxing for me! :)

I have 2 bags ready for pick up tomorrow. Pulled some more clothes out of the drawers and closet that I don't wear. It won't be long and I will have to purchase a new wardrobe. Doesn't make me sad ;)

I dropped a bag of things into a recycling bin and another bag at Goodwill last Tuesday.

I have a bag started for fall/winter items.

I added two shirts to the bag that will go to consignment as soon as they're taking things.

Took the rubbish out as it is bin night. Told DH to find 3 things from the garage to toss. He did, so 3 things less in the house. Now to do that 1000 times more.
