New total: 16.
Two more hours today, posting things on Buy Nothing (got rid of two big things) and going through papers.
New total: 18.
EJ, Looks as if you are doing well with this challenge, this month. I am getting ready to cull files on the computer in prep for transferring them to the new laptop...don't want to fill it with "junk". But, have I begun? NOPE! But 15 minutes...maybe I'll do that! You inspire me ej.
Yes, nswef, 15 minutes at a time. It can be magic.
I am finally returning to this goal, with hopes I can finish this batch of 40 hours in the next three weeks when I have a little more time than usual.
Today, I put in 2.5 hours, and it was great. New total: 20.5.
I did 30 minutes yesterday, tidying up before my daughter returned from a school trip to Japan (!!).
Today, I started tackling the many items from stores that I ordered last month and haven't gone through to figure out what to keep and what to return. I now have a stack of things by the door to put in the mail on Monday. I also found about 10 things to give to Goodwill, and put together a box of things that I'd bought for my brother and his wife and kids, which I'll also mail on Monday. And I'm heading out in about 15 minutes to return a few more items to stores. All of this took me about 2 hours.
New total: 23 hours.
Will you always be buying and returning things for your daughter? You mentioned the past you’re mostly buying clothes that need to be returned. It’s just seems like an extraordinary amount of time you spend returning items.
Is there a more efficient way to shop, efficient with your time? Driving around to stores returning things would drive me absolutely bananas.
Actually, what drives me absolutely bananas is clothes shopping at malls. I buy about 80% of my clothes now online and most of the time it works out fine. Every once in a while, something has to go back, but the returns are pretty easy and within our neighborhood, so not too time-consuming.
I got the box of things for my brother and his family in the mail today and also returned 6 items to stores. It all took about an hour. New total: 24 hours.
