I have to admit decluttering even just one box this week almost didn’t happen. In fact, I decluttered this week’s box at 6:40 this morning.

Because of the early hour, the photos in today’s post are an off color-but that matters less than the fact that I did it. I stuck to my goal.

This box turned out to have a lot of empty plastic boxes. I kept them for now as I am planning to do the attic next and I know there is a lot of stuff to organize up there. If however when I am done these 52 weeks any of these plastic boxes remain empty off to the thrift store they go.

Yes, even organizing containers can become clutter – if you are not using them get rid of them. I am speaking this to myself more than anyone else. I struggle with giving containers away. I always think but what if I need them later.

Truth – I usually do need them later. However, since I have decluttered most of our home already and haven’t had a need for them, I think this time it is time to let go – as soon as the last project is finished.

These items went either to the recycling box or to the homes where they should be.

The empty boxes went into the box I started last week of things that I want to keep but not sure where they go yet.

And the result is one less box stored beside my husband’s side of the bed.

    Haha, I also have a box of storage containers to figure out what to do with. Great idea to set that time limit on when to let them go if they really have no good use. Thanks!
