Rather than posting my clutter every day, I like getting it done all at once, so I don't clutter up everyone's Facebook pages. And it is rewarding to see that I get closer to my goal every time I post. I have always enjoyed the results of getting rid of clutter, but this makes it more memorable. It reminds me a certain amount of clutter cannot be helped, but I do not have to let it rule over my life and household. Moreover, I am reminded to be careful what I bring into the house. Some people use the rule of thumb: "Bring in an item, get rid of an item." I am not quite there yet, but that is a great idea if you have clutter everywhere.
Ridding yourself of clutter will make you feel a bit lighter. It will give you a sense of freedom, and it certainly makes cleaning easier. Jump right in. You don't have to get rid of five things in a day. Just start with the idea of disposing of one item of clutter each day. That will add up in a year.

I think Christmas shoppers are going to like this garage sale,
which I plan to have the first Saturday in October. I
have read that the best time to have a garage sale is the
first Friday or Saturday after the 1st or the 15th of the month.
I am pricing as I put things aside, all I will
have to do is put the things on display that day.
What a great idea! I found your blog through a guest post and have enjoyed it thus far. I fight clutter every day. I have never had a guest blogger before, like ever. But if I did I would want it to be a real clutter crime fighter not a .com that spins out 50 articles a week.

Thank you, Pam. I took a look at your blog, and I like it. I have found it's easier to keep up with housework when I keep things simple. I love reading about how other people get it done.
