Here's the inside of the basket.
Here are all ten things laid out... the four animals which no one plays with went to a "sell" bag with other toys that have been recently moved out. The three non-working calculators (which were used as "cell phones") hit the trash. The pink throw up container from the hospital (which was washed and used in the play kitchen dishes) also hit the trash. And the two ancient speak and read things that don't work anymore also found the trash. I did keep the one that does still work, but I thought probably didn't need the two broken ones anymore.
Maybe not an awesome purging/decluttering day, but at least there are ten things NOT in my playroom right now. That is good enough for me for today. I'll be back Monday with probably my linen closet as the next project.
Kate, don't put your efforts down! The whole premise of this was that the small effort of getting rid of ten things each day would add up to a big change over time. I know the big transformations where people go above and beyond look really impressive when we post them, but sticking consistently to ten things a day will serve you so much better in the long run than knocking yourself to do everything at once, and then burning out. You had a busy day but you did your ten things anyway, that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Morgan. I know that's the point but it felt sad. heh. I'm not sure I'll be able to pick up ten dirty kleenex tomorrow, we'll be so busy, but I wanted to do "something" today! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Nice work! It WILL add up!
