But it must have reached me one way or another. On Wednesday, I put out 6 big black trash bags full of clothes, shoes, toys, etc for ARC. WAAAAY more than 30 items. Still have a ways to go. My daughter moving out helped me get motivated. She still has several boxes of stuff stored here. She's finding out that keeping everything she's ever owned is not always too practical when you live in a one bedroom apartment. ;-) I can’t believe I missed this post.

I'm so overwhelmed with clutter. We live in a super small space and we keep bringing more and more stuff in and not taking any stuff out. I'm a bear when the house is cluttered, it's hard to cook, it's hard to clean! So, thanks for this!!! :) Oh boy Miz! I’m so overwhelmed with clutter.

Me included. I am definitely a Pack Rat! I used to save the silliest things thinking that some day I might find a need that they would be perfect for. (You should see my button collection). I read a few comments above that spoke to needing to get rid of more than one thing a day, but for us lifelong hard core pack rats, even 1 thing can be difficult. I think I'll take you up on this, and make a definite effort to rid myself of one thing a day. But what if that jumpsuit I had in High School comes back in style... after I can fit into it... :) I think I have a serious problem... Wow, looks like you inspired a lot of people with this one.

I'm pretty good about going through stuff and giving away/throwing away on a regular basis, but I never seem to end up entirely uncluttered. More work to do on the organizational front, I suppose. Yet it feels good everytime I manage some. The kitchen stays fairly clutter free and also clean. It is probably the one room in the house that I never fail to keep clean. But it sure makes for more pleasant food prep! My office is improving, though there is still work to do there. Next step... take the boxes of stuff I've accumulated that can GO and actually GET THEM TO THE PIONEER HUMANE SOCIETY THRIFT STORE! Definitely need less clutter here!

Yes! Your Cowboy hat is lovely. I do have a great idea for you. I'll bet you could auction off something you own for charity to your readers! IE dumbbells, signed cook book, etc. Or how about Tornado's college tuition?!? Just a thought when i saw that hat! I will join you. I don't have a lot of clutter but my office is s big fat mess and a couple of closets do need organizing. You're the best!

I definitely have found that my food choices are much smarter when I keep the kitchen bare - it makes it tougher to hide the naughty stuff! The golden rule of healthy eating, of course, is to only ever give in to buying any sort of junk when you absolutely must have it, and to just buy one 'mini' version of your treat. A bigger packet might cost less, but it'll cost you more in the long run! They say a clean mind and a clean body begins with a clean environment .. and clutter certainly ain’t that!
