I threw out/gave away 50 things when I moved a couple months ago (the biggest being my husband....) but I think I still have a way to go to be less cluttered.

Thank you sooooo much, its appreciated. I can honestly say that I am not much of a clutter bug. I have moved so often, its just too expensive to acquire more and more. But, I am a paperholic. Love all reading/writing materials and like everyone else out there, not enough time to read it all. So, I stuff it in drawers only to take time out on my butt on weekends reading and tossing. That's what I did yesterday and it feels really good. But, thanks to your great advice, I'm adopting a plan to only touch paperwork once and it either gets read, filed properly or tossed. Hum, sounds like another one of my 21 days to a good habit routine is back on again. Its all good. Linda I love your blog, so much great information that I’ve used.

Before I knew I was going to move two summers ago I decluttered the entire house. Then it was a whole year before I actually put the house up for sale, so I had to declutter again! While hubby lived away for that year...son and I had NO problem keeping the house immaculate.Moved to new house. Big problem...unloading all those boxes and now the storage of everything is different. Ugh. We have taken three car loads to Goodwill, sold the moving boxes and kitchen table (didn't fit) on Craigslist (Yeah...cash), but still, now that hubby lives here again, we are in a mess. All his magazines, newspapers, work "reading" which for some reason he prints off the internet, etc. Last week I had to call Kohl's and tell them I never got the bill before the last one. I did find it later under some mail that came on a Saturday and he stuck it under magazines. Ugh. At least they waived the late fee. Today I made him go through a BOX of magazines. I HATE Time, Business Week, Fortune...all of them! UGH. But now our recycling bin is full, so they'll have to try and fit in next week! Moving is my best decluttering tool.

The most notable event occurring recently when I was going through packed stored boxes and realized I had not one, not two but THREE entire sets of prisma color markers that had not been touched.

UGH. Anyway, we had a garage sale this weekend - got rid of a lot of clutter, and will be making a trip to Goodwill to finally get rid of the rest!It feels good to lose that extra "weight." :-) While digging through the garage this week, I found a box of stuff I meant to bring to Goodwill FOUR YEARS AGO.

The suit that I was only able to wear ONCE before I misplaced the bottoms in a pile of STUFF. The two pieces are back together now, and I can wear the whole thing as it was designed!!
