    Default Toss Out Tuesday!

    Tuesdays are my totally free days.
    So I will use this day to help set my first goal and toss it out!
    Tuesdays I will toss things out
    My Goal (realistic for me) fill at least one bag to Toss out!
    Come on ... I am a pack rat ... I need to learn to part with things and simplify.
    But I cant throw it all out at once.
    So this will be an accomplishment for me!

    Wish me luck!

    Closing my eyes as I toss it out LOL

    I just wanted to say good luck...and what a wonderful idea....once a week takes some of the bite out of decluttering.
    Once you start to simplify you will wonder why you did not do it sooner.

    I wish you the best of luck! You can do this, and you'll feel soooo much better! Usually the first few items are the hardest to throw, after that... It's pretty easy for most people.

    I'd be happy to cheer you on so let us know once you got that first bag out the door!

    BTW: What day is your trash pick up day? Just wondering because sometimes when its hard for people to get rid of clutter it's best to do it around trash pick up day.

    That's a great idea. I think I'll try that too....or maybe I'll clean out a drawer here in my office.... . Come to think of it, that would probably equal a bag (!) .
