Declutter Challenge: February
Posted by Rachel on Mar 3, 2010 in organization, simplify | 14 commentsI’m joining in with Amy for her Declutter Challenge! Amy’s goal is to get rid of 730 items in 365 days (which is 2 items per day!)

I have set my personal goal to have 365 things gone in 365 days! I think this is still a lofty goal…an item a day! And once I reach this goal I’ll continue decluttering…hopefully more than 365 things will leave my home!
My one rule is that hand-me-downs from others don’t count! How is counting someone else’s cast offs helping me reduce clutter? So, if I receive items and decide to pass them on or donate to Goodwill, they will not be on this list!
In January 56 items left my home!!
So how did I do in February?
Clothing: 7
Books: 12
Crafts: 8
Decor: 4
Kitchen: 4
Other: 5
Total: 40
Craigslist Sales
- Comforter $15
- Potrack $20
- Scrapbook Paper $10
- Mandolin $100
- Jacket $25
Grand Total: 45 items
Money Made: $170
Making $170 for our unwanted stuff is wonderful! We have less stuff and more money!!
Now I have 264 items left to reach my goal!
Are you thinking about decluttering in 2010? Here is a video post about getting rid of 30 Things in 30 Days! It is amazing how much you can get rid of if you just get rid of 1 unwanted item a day…easy decluttering!
