Identify and Rid Myself of 43 Items of Überclutter

I wasn’t sure this morning if I’d completed this or if I had just gotten close, but I’m going to consider it done.

42. Nothing was thrown away, but I organized my clothing closet which was a pretty big job.

43. I also organized a desk that I’ll be using at home for things related to the teaching job I’ll soon be starting.

I’m concentrating the last of my Uberclutter ridding on the spare room in our house since I’ll be using it as an office occasionally in the next year.

37. Several empty cardboard boxes to recycle

38. Various cluttery itmes on the surface of the desk were put in places that made more sense for them to be stored in.

39. Candles that weren’t being used, stored for future use

40. Big cup full of pens…pens were checked and any that didn’t work were thrown away.

41. Various books were collected in a large stack…I’ll decide where to shelve them later today.

32. Several old cardboard boxes I was saving in case I needed them to store things or send gifts- recycled.

33. Decluttered most of the living room.

34. Decluttered the kitchen.

35. Decluttered the bathroom.

36. Decluttered the table that’s supposed to be used to eat meals at, but manages to be the place a lot of things end up instead of being put away.

Uberclutter items #28-31 are three bags of old clothes and one bag of old shoes which will be picked up by a charity early next week.

26. more old photos, organized, not gotten rid of, but it did free up more space

27. various old paperwork items that I no longer need

I packed up a bunch of old gym clothes that are either uncomfortable or just old. I’m trying to decide whether to donate them or just get rid of them, but they are no longer taking up storage space in my closet.

Since I have the day off and am in a cleaning mood, I took care of more Uberclutter.

22. Basket of old magazines- recycled
23. Basket of craft supplies- organized and thinngs that didn’t belong were put in other places
24. 300 or so loose photos- put in albums

I’ll admit, I had ulterior motives for decluttering the trunk of my car. I was hoping to increase my car’s fuel efficiency both for the environment and for my finances.

I had a lot of stuff stored in the trunk from activities where it was convenient to have these items with me, but I no longer need them in my car.

Anyway, the stuff is either put away in my house or in bags to be given to someone who needs them more than me.

19. I empited a basket that sits on top of our microwave and accumulates junk. I was then able to store candles in it that I put out on the table from time to time.

20. I decluttered the cabinet that basically has all my office and school supplies in and on it. It is organized and ready to go for fall as long as I don’t clutter it up again.

We have a coat closet in the front hall and an everything closet in the hall that the bedrooms are off of. Both were full of stuff we’d just thrown in to get it out of the way. I threw some things out, and others will be donated or sold.
