40 Hours Decluttering Using Flylady's Timer Method: August 24 - October 31

[bluestreak]

I did three more hours today! I tackled the cabinet under the sink in our downstairs bathroom and realized I need some small shelves under there to use the space more efficiently so I ordered some, along with a sponge holder and an organizer.

New total: 19.5.

My houseguest is coming on Saturday, February 7, and my hope is to get this batch of 40 hour finished before then and also get rid of 100 items before then. I'll keep letting you know how I'm doing, of course!

Good job, ejchase! Nothing like company to focus the mind!

Thanks, bluestreak!

I did 1.5 hours today, so my new total is 21.

Also, I'm going to start a count to see if I can reach my goal of getting rid of 100 items by 2/7. I got rid of 8 things today - 6 bottles of expired spices and a couple of other packages of expired food in a cupboard I never look in!

I'm making some progress today. I finished up the bathroom cabinet - here are before and after photos. And yes, I know we still have WAY too much stuff, but I had to stock up on Covid tests, Pepto Bismol, and TUMS to use up my FSA this year (they will get used). Also, we have to keep the TP in there because otherwise our cat will shred it all over the first floor!

I did four hours today - cleaned up the clutter that had piled up on the dresser in my bedroom, decluttered the downstairs coat closet, finished organizing the cabinet under the sink downstairs, and did sundry other things. I still have so much to do, but it felt good to make a big push. New total: 25.
