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.
