    Default My new clutter goal

    Ok folks, my goal is to declutter, sell or give away all the stuff I dont need and then not build it all back up again! I dont understand how I can get rid of a ton of stuff and in a matter of a few months it seems like I have it all back again! LOL

    So, wish me well and think about joining in with me. Just think how much less time it would take to keep our homes neat and clean if we didn't clutter the place up. And look at the dollars we would save if we didn't buy more to replace it. And the time we would have to do something we really want to do..such as maybe sleeping an actual 8 hours a night or exercising...

    Lets do it! Lets control our clutter instead of letting it control us!

    You go Mamaw! I hear ya! Seems like the more I declutter, the more I accumulate! Doesn't make sense to me either.

    I am in the process of decluttering too.

    I've been doing some decluttering and deep cleaning as I have time and energy for the past several weeks. I've got a lot done but still have so much to do

    This is a great goal. I've been decluttering but have a lot left to do. We moved here 3 1/2 years ago, it's amazing how much we've accumulated since then.

    I don't know why but it does seem like the spots we clear out just fill back up again. Sometimes I think we have some kind of clutter monster in our house.

    I need to declutter too. Now if I could just stay away from yard sales and thrift shops.
