Declutter Challenge

January 15, 2012 By Shelley Zurek 839 Comments

Did my Life get too Cluttered?

Woman with clutter Blog Note: I have severely disappointed one of my readers, maybe more and I am sorry.  I started this declutter challenge back in Jan., 2011.  We had 3 months worth of prizes added to the pile and a nice group of readers jumped on board and participated enthusiastically.  Then my life took over (one kid graduating high school out of state plus open house, one graduating college, sick mom, another kid moved out, high school senior went to college, 2 kids got licences, a wedding, a bridal shower, yada-yada-yada! )  Anywho, I let the ball drop on this and I am sorry!  Especially to my dear reader who is upset with me.  But the challenge isn’t ruined yet…we have this month to get caught up!

So Let’s Catch up!

Anyway the deal was, you were supposed to declutter one item everyday for 365 days.  Then you were supposed to  give your input  every month into how you were doing as your entry and I would add a prize to the pile each month.  You guys did an awesome job of commenting in the first three months.

Here’s a story from one of our reader’s pictures, Jen S., that she shared  on her decluttering efforts this year:

    The only thing that stands in my way of decluttering is me when I’m being lazy.

    The factor that makes me keep is if it is sentimental.

    It is very hard to get motivated to declutter,but you just gotta get doing it or it will not get done & know in the long run when you are done everything will be 100% better.

    The storage tip I would like to give is be sure to keep everything organized,because not doing so with the least little but will throw you off & then it’s hard to keep up.

    My favorite decluttering tip is that before every birthday or christmas the kids have to donate unused toys to the Goodwill!

    Our biggest clutter spot is the table by the phone were all the extra papers end up that really need to be dealt with!

    My biggest decluttering challenge has been the kids toys and my books — they just seem to accumulate! But I’ve been making progress, slowly but surely!

    The people who cause the most are the children, then dh then myself. I am working on helping the children learn to pick up things when they are dropped, put things in their assigned places instead of just throwing things wherever they land. It is a process and we are still working on it, but hopefully one day we will all get it! Dh on the other hand, I am not sure is willing to change, but we are working on the children and myself for now!
