I love this challenge! Remember February is the shortest month! Can you do it?
I joined a minimalist challenge group on Facebook. Our goal is to declutter our lives by getting rid of a specific number of items every day in February. On day one, we have to get rid of one item, on day two, two items, and so on. By the end of February each participant will have discarded a total of 424 items. I think. I might’ve forgotten to carry a two in one or more of my calculations. I know there’s a formula that might’ve made the process simpler, but my algebra days are far behind me.
Participants can send items to the trash bin, donate them, or give them to friends as gifts. Additionally, no items that are merely “wants” can be purchased during the month unless an additional four items per want are discarded. There are other rules, but these are the main ones.

Thank you for reading my blog. The problem with this challenge for me is my wife goads me to throw out in batches. I went through my CD collection today and found I had purchased doubles for 25 albums. I will give them away to an avid, classic rock listener.

This is a great idea Pamela. I may have to give this one a whirl. I just purchased a new beach bag on vacation….it might be time to donate my old one so I don’t add to the clutter.

These you go. My rule is one in one out. New shoes. One pair of shoes has to go. It works out great. I tend to be more aware of my purchases when I know I have to let one go.
