March Decluttering Report

It’s the end of March.

How exactly did that happen?

Since it’s Friday, I’ll go ahead and report on my decluttering efforts for the month even though there’s a whole day left. (If I happen to declutter something tomorrow, I’ll add it to next month’s report.)

My decluttering progress:

I JUST DECLUTTERED in the boys’ room. No organizing, and not even any real cleaning . . . just decluttering. And the difference was rather impressive. The difference in the spot I worked on. I haven’t tackled any more spots since then.

With spring break and then an extra-busy week this week . . . the only other decluttering project I tackled was my master bedroom.

But really . . . . it was a doozy. And kind of counts as a double or triple project.

And I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being able to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night without stubbing my toe.

As much.

How did you do this month? If you wrote about your own decluttering progress for March, please leave a link to that post in the comments!

For me, her site opened up the world of writing-on-the-internet-in-a-format-that-people-might-actually-read. When the opportunity came up to review the audio version of her new book, The Money Saving Mom’s Budget, I was […]

Impending Danger

6shares 5 0 1 Occasionally . . . I iron. Occasionally. I do automatically know where to look to find the iron, but evidently I don’t know to automatically put it away. I’d guess even normal people do that with some things. But what makes me the most crazy is when I consciously say to […]

One Good Excuse: Maintaining the Illusion

101shares 88 0 13 We do Santa. We’re not die-hard put-footprints-on-the-roof types, but we love the excitement of going to bed on Christmas Eve wondering what we’ll find when we get up in the morning. My 8yo straight-out asked me last Christmas Eve if Santa was real (he’d lived in denial for several years), and […]

One Drawer. Two drawers. Whatever.

90 Minute Master Bedroom Transformation

After that much time (an hour and twenty-five minutes and eleven-point-seven seconds), my master bedroom looked like this: Maybe that seems like a lot of time considering the fact that the dresser is still piled with stuff. Just wait. I’ll show […]

3.7Kshares 3.0K 0 744 I’ve learned a thing or two (or twenty) about how to de clutter. Unfortunately, I also seem to be pretty good at re-cluttering. Anyway, I’ve mentioned this “technique” in many of my posts, webisodes, and talks about decluttering . . . but I’ve never given it its own “How To” post. […]
