throw out all the unneeded things in my house

I think I tossed at least 5 bags of trash from there. I still have more work to do there and then I think I will start to tackle the attic.

I cleaned out the yard, and now I am tackling the front porch. We have more trash going out than we ever have. I am really trying to toss as much as possible. I hope to finish the porch in the next couple weeks, and then I am going to hit the attic.

I am slowly working towards this one. I have a long way to go. Basicially I’ve been focusing more on cleaning up and organizing rather than throwing away. I need to start trashing/giving away more stuff.

My goal was 3 bags of trash, I only got rid of one. At least I made it up there. I am going to try and get up there at least once a week cause there is a lot of crap up there that I need to get rid of.

I plan on going up to my attic today and seeing what I can get rid of. I am setting a mini goal of 3 trashbags full of stuff.

I am getting better though. I have been much better about throwing things away and bringing stuff home. I just have so much and it’s so hard to let go of that I might need it someday mentality.

Although I did get rid of a trash bag full of stuff this week.

I did a flylady mission today, throw away 27 things and give away 27 things. Most of it was magazines or books though, I suppose thats better than nothing.

I will keep all kinds of magazine for years and read them even if they are 3 or 4 years old. How terrible is that? I boxed up about 15 today to mail to one of my girlfriends (yes I asked if she wants them first).
I guess thats a small dent considering I probably have a couple hundred. Its a start though.

I just started giving away some clothes that I had here that belonged to a deceased relative. I was hanging on to them for sentamental reasons but I think it is time to let go of the material possessions. I am going slowly but getting there.
