When we came home at the beginning of the year, we realized that we have a lot of crap. I mean, a lot. Looking around, I see piles of stuff that we just don’t need. A lot of fellow bloggers have posted about reducing, and I’m jumping on the bandwagon. I’m setting a goal to get rid of 365 things in the year 2016. Interested in joining? Use the hashtag #simplify365 on social media to share how you’re reducing this year!
A few ground rules:
- Donated items and trash can all count towards this goal.
- Normal trash doesn’t count. Any purging beyond that can.
- Items in a set count as one (like a set of three cookie sheets).
- Consider donating anything that isn’t trash! Lots of local charities can use your old stuff.
Hope you join in!
This is on our list of things to do as well, with baby coming we have a ton of stuff that need to go.
What a great idea!! I will try this once we move in March/April… we are doing a DITY, so my husband wants all the weight we can get, hahaha!
This is a great idea… good luck!
I got rid of some much at the end of last year, but I can definitely afford to part with some more!
I’ve been doing the same! I like your rules and the fact that your trash can items count towards your goal. It feels so good to bag up stuff and drop it off as a donation. Plus, I’m hoping getting rid of stuff will make our next in town move even easier!
I think that this is a great thing to do! I actually just did something similar to this but it was with #unclutteryournest run by another blogger. I managed to donate/throw away 791 pounds of things from my apartment. The crazy thing? I already did a ton of purging MONTHS ago when I moved across the country. I just had way too much stuff.
