I didn’t have to look far for today’s win. I opened a drawer in my kitchen and saw two pairs of old oven mitts. Oooh, they’ve been through a few cooking diasters, I thought to myself as I admired the stains and a few holes. They weren’t even worth recyling. Goodbye, oven mitts. Thanks for keeping my hands protected. (Why we hold onto things that we can’t even use safely anymore is a mystery to me!)
Given we are beginning the workweek and you may have less time to spend on decluttering each day, let the items that are ready to leave reveal themselves to you. Like my old oven mitts.
I hope to spend a bit of time making a dent in my office tonight too. There’s a mail pile staring at me. I’ll keep you posted.
What’s your win today?
It all started with a shopping trip to Costco and my hubby buying himself socks…when I went to put his new socks in his drawer, it was so full I could not fit in another pair. So I went through all of them and got rid of all the ones that should not and were not being used. So even though I added a few new pairs there is still less pairs than before:)
Awesome Stacey! In the corporate world we call that highgrading the portfolio. 🙂 Great work! And welcome to the journey. I can’t wait to hear about tomorrow’s adventure. I’m going to go deal with that mail pile now. Wish me luck!
That mail pile is barely a pile! Just a few more items to go. YAY!
Day #2 for me was cleaning out the drawing papers, colouring books and markers. Papers & colouring books that were full went into recycling and the markers whose ink was now on all that paper went into the garbage. A nice, neat, well stacked colouring cabinet now exists in the boys’ cabinet. 🙂
Oh yes, Hanna’s craft table is going to get it soon too!
Sunday I gave away books to different moms at church who could use the ones my kids have outgrown.
I love when we can pass things along for others to find enjoyment in them. Good work Laura!
