I am definitely going to give some things to charity – just need to sort the boxes first. I have had over the past few years several boxes ready to be give away – but they ended up “shoved” back in the garage again or other stuff shoved inside so they need to be sorted again.

I like the idea of the daily 27 – even it I can’t stick to 27 things, even just 15 minutes a day tacking one spot could be helpful (i.e. a shelf, or a drawer, or a stack of mail).

I am on a mission! Junk be gone. hehehe

I have similar issues about getting things done that requires lifting. My deceased husband was a whiz bang at helping move heavy things and building me shelves when I needed them. And this was when I had more mobility.

Now I am physically less capable due to health problems, and, although I have been blessed with a new husband, who has wonderful attributes, he is not the big help that I really need. We combined two households in a smaller house, and even after 8 years, and some progress , there is still so much to do that is just not getting done.

I had read that there is a correlation between getting rid of clutter and getting rid of unwanted weight. What an incentive that would be.

Love all the solutions you and others have mentioned. I like the habit of getting rid of 27 things each day. If it means not getting exhausted that sounds doable for me !

It looks like your ‘Womon’s Gathering’ has had some lasting effects. And that is because you chose to let it.

Well done ! Janice

I think your solution is a good one, as are the suggestions in the comments.

As far as selling on ebay, you could probably do well and make some money. Especially if you have new things. They always sold well for me. I had no luck with garage sales either, but when my dad went to be with the Lord last year, I had the overwhelming task of cleaning out the house to sell it. That’s when I learned how to sell on ebay.

It’s a little bit of a hassle getting your sellers account set up, but then it’s fairly simple. Just time consuming. I got one of those ebay assistants that are available through ebay. She came over one day for a couple hours and walked me through the process. Gave me a booklet she had put together with all the information I needed to know and charged only $75. After that, she was also available to me through email to answer any questions that came up later. It was worth the investment. I made about $1,000 profit in selling on ebay because my dad had a LOT of stuff.
