This is pretty much it for the main level, but I am sure I have left out some key things I want/need to do. In addition to this I plan on getting rid of 10 things per week. I can either sell it, donate it, or give it to someone else, but I need to minimize our possessions. I guess I will see how well this works. I will follow up with monthly results throughout the year
I will post on the upper level later. I am either hopelessly blind or I just don't want to think about it right now, because in my mind it is ok.
For your musical entertainment

That's quite a list! I wish you luck in getting it all done. I love the 10 things per week goal. Every time I think I've reached the point where I don't have anything left to get rid of, I find something else I no longer want or need. Once you start the habit of minimizing your possessions, it becomes an addiction because your house will begin feel bigger, your closets will look neater, you won't have to spend as much time cleaning and organizing and you'll feel less stressed. Looking forward to seeing your monthly results.
ReplyDeleteI am a self motivator in a lot of things, but housework is not one of them. I am hoping this will keep me accountable enough that I will check these off the list regularly. I am mainly excited about getting rid of some of the excess.
DeleteAn impressive list. It seems overwhelming, but it's good that you've thought through everything. That helps keep the focus where you want it. We had a list somewhat like that last year and I'm not sure much has changed on it.
ReplyDeleteI think that is why I posted it. I work better when I feel some accountability to someone other than me.
