decluttering
I'm trying the 1 in 2 out method
(does not apply to food, cleaning stuff) Basically for each new thing you buy, you get rid of two old things. It's making me evaluate how badly I want something, and helping with impulse buying (example - I about bought a cute coffee mug, but realized it'd probably be one of the two things I'd get rid of the next time I bought something)

Re: decluttering
A charity I support was asking for donations for a fundraising garage sale that they were having. In my mind I could bring a moving van full of stuff
![]() I was actually a little frustrated that I was having a hard time coming up with stuff to give away, so I challenged myself... every cabinet, closet, drawer or whatever I opened up held at least one item I could part with so I needed to find it and pull it out. That actually worked pretty well! Of course, I didn't open up cabinets that held stuff I use a lot. ![]() Not the most effective way to get rid of stuff, but I did get rid of a trunkful. And now some of my cabinets are a little less reminiscent of Fibber McGee.

Re: decluttering
You motivated me to clean out some of my dresser drawers
I chucked some stuff and reorganized 2 drawers.

I'm now looking for things that have expired as my "things out"

Re: decluttering
I've got an old box of material/info from when I was a scout leader - that's become my "go to" box to get rid of stuff
