Marc and I have become hooked on a new blog. It’s all about decluttering, moving on, sorting stuff out and letting go of material possessions. Last night I was so intrigued, I started reading the blog from the very beginning, with Marc doing some sneaky over-the-shoulder reading along the way (while watching ‘My Super Ex-girlfriend’ – funny movie. Think I’ll look for the sound track to it. Good no brainer to keep you entertained while doing other things type of a movie).
I am now motivated to attempt this task as well. So this morning Marc and I have started organising some more things to put on ebay that we have been meaning to do for a few weeks now.
For us, seven things a week to give away, sell, donate to charity or as a last resort to throw away, should be attainable and maintainable :)
I’m going to keep a tally and blog about it on a weekly basis. This will help us to get rid of things that we are particularly attached to for whatever reason, and then we will have a blog record of the thing that’s gone from our lives, and a permanent memory of why it was held on to in the first place.
Hey Meegan. This post makes me so happy! (and thanks for your email too). Some weeks I wonder if I’m doing a really ridiculous thing, documenting my struggle with stuff online for all the world to see, and thinking it must be incredibly boring. It really helps to know that it has motivated others to try to do the same thing. This was just the encouragement I needed! :)
