CC2 Speedy Goth Dec 2019 9:03pm, 1 Dec 2019 4,060 posts	0 CC2 Speedy Goth December 1st - declutter 1 item December 2nd - declutter 2 items December 3rd - declutter 3 items and so on, and so on until... December 31st - declutter 31 items If you succeed you have removed 501 items of clutter from your life. What constitutes decluttering? Well, that's up to you. It could be that you give the item away (to charity or to a friend), maybe you sell it on ebay, maybe you recycle it or even have to bin it. Also I think it should count if something's been sat in your living room or kitchen for months for example, and you find it a proper home even if that means you're actually keeping it. That maybe only applies to clutterbug messy folks like myself though! So who's in?

However even if I declutter some things it will be more than most months. I have this evening (before I saw this thread) put some glass jars out for recycling that up until now I had been thinking might come in useful for something (they wouldn't and I know that should I ever need a glass jar I still have one or two, but I don't need 'loads') - so that will be my thing for today!

CC2 Speedy Goth Dec 2019 9:29pm, 1 Dec 2019 4,062 posts	0 CC2 Speedy Goth I've tried and failed before, but I'm off work between Christmas and New Year when the numbers get really big. Alternatively you could start with 31 items and count down to 1. I think that would be easier in any other 31 day long month.

PenW Dec 2019 7:37am, 2 Dec 2019 1,780 posts	0 PenW I’m going to give it a try! I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick to it. I need to declutter faster than that so may do some of the bigger numbers earlier on (or chunk things e.g. 3 bags of...). Threw out a piece of rubbish yesterday that has been in the cupboard... oh for about a year!
