This week’s decluttering area is even smaller than usual. Our family has had a hectic week, and truly I just wanted to skip out all together but….I chose just to do something… a tiny space decluttered is better than no space decluttered.
So I picked my bin full of work clothes (the green striped one pictured above, the blue striped one is my hubby’s work clothes). These are the clothes I wear when I am painting or working in the garden. Truthfully besides wearing an outfit for dying my hair every few months, these clothes have not been worn in a while.
I dumped the entire thing out onto our bed and found that there were long johns in the bottom. Those would have come in handy a few times last winter, oh well, now I know where they are for next time.
In the end, I tossed about 1/3 of the clothes. They are covered in paint and stains, so they went to the trash.
I folded up the clothes that I wanted to keep, and they fit in the container with room to spare. I use to have to squish the clothes to make them all fit.
This project took so little time and left me feeling like I was still keeping my promise to myself to declutter something every week this year.
If you are joining along, and are feeling discouraged because you are not reaching your goals each week, take some time to re-evaluate them and see if perhaps you made your projects too big to fit in the daily life you are currently living.
Make sure your project fits your current week.
