simplify and declutter

got rid of puzzles and the Roller blades (and pads)... waiting for another person to pick up some craft stuff.

I went through my pile of magazines and catalogs etc.
I made a few piles, ones that can be posted on freecycle, ones I would like to keep, and the other’s that I put near the elevator for people to take.
I also went through all the paperwork on my desk, as well as organizing the whole desk… drawers and cabinet.
I hit my table where I keep tall books, photo albums, Audrey Hepburn collection… I took all the loose photos and bagged them to be ready to place in albums… organized my art work there as well.
I went through my plants and picked off any old flowers, drying/dried up leaves.
Washed all my recyclables.
Got a lot done yesterday.

a bunch of linens on freecycle…. some I had grabbed at a tag sale (because it was free and there was one thing I needed in the bag)..
Hopefully they will be gone this week.

an article about decluttering your living space. And one tip a woman gave was this:
Every day I pick 10 things to get rid of.. donate.. give to a friend.. etc.
I’m not sure if I want to commit to 10 things a day… but I could do 10 things in a week…

I gave away my exercise bike today… It was just in the way.. And I wasn’t using it…. Less CLUTTER!!!

I am feeling that there is just too much “stuff” in my space…. feel crowded ….
So, I am going to go through every drawer, closet…etc.
I believe I will start on Sunday… Have plans tomorrow.

got rid of those cookbooks I don’t use… and a leather bag I haven’t used in at least 2 years.

gave my brother a tv I wasn’t using.
and gave my father back a bunch of computer stuff…
YES… less to deal with!!

posted a thing on freecycle, and answered someone who was looking for something I don’t need….
Hopefully they will get chosen soon.

I am starting to reorganize my apt. Going through each space, and find out things I don’t use anymore… I will give them to charity or post them on freecycle.
