The Big Slow Down
It's been a month since I've recorded any progress. That is mostly because it has been slow. At least the last couple of weeks have been slow. I guess it's the non-stop cold weather. I just don't feel motivated. And it doesn't help that the kitchen I decluttered is getting cramped again. What has helped is following minimalist blogs/posts and re-reading the original story that got me started (Stockpiling Treasures in my Junk Closet)
Still, there has been progress. Here is what we have removed from the house in the last month:
36 books
26 cookbooks
25 cooking magazines and booklets
1 CD Player/case
10 decor items
175 markers and pens
25 school supplies
6 pair of shoes
99 items of clothing
15 Misc. items
418 items
which puts our current total at 1131
I guess that's not too bad after all. We are not finished with the first quarter of the year, but we are more than halfway to our goal of 2015 items!
