I am so tired of all this clutter!! It is driving me crazy. I have decided enough is enough!

It is time for a change.

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify!

100 items might seem like a lot, but we are only getting rid of 100 items that are junk! So, when you think about it, who doesn’t want to clear out all our junk?

A clutter-free life will give you a clear mind, and with a clear mind you can accomplish anything!

Now, I know it can be hard. Ask yourself these questions:

1. Do I use this regularly?
I am not saying get rid of seasonal items. But if you have Christmas items out in June, then you need to have those in storage ASAP! That’s just making your clutter worse!

2. Am I holding on to this in hopes I will use it?
If you haven’t used it in a year, chances are you won’t use it anymore. Time to donate!

3. Do I feel obligated to keep this?
“Was this a gift that I don’t like, I am just keeping it cause I feel like I should love it?” If yes, then it doesn’t bring you happiness… toss it!

4. Is this a duplicate item?
If you have several, keep the one that works the best or the one you like the most. Donate the other one. Someone out there could use it.

5. Is this a broken item I am keeping to fix?
Ok, ask yourself is it fixable? If not, get rid of it. If it is broken and you can fix it, fix it right away or toss it.

6. Does this item bring me joy?
If you hate it, don’t keep it!

7. Will someone else find more use for this than I do?
Donate it or pass it along

When removing an item - take it completely out of your home, It doesn’t help if you just move it around in hopes of taking it somewhere!

Now think about where it will go:
1. Give it away or donate it
2. Yard Sale
3. Craigslist or eBay
4. Consignments Shops
5. Recycle it
6. Toss it - only for the broken or unusable items!

Share your progress in a public form, whether it be on a blog, face book, twitter, etc.

You can do this!

So, who’s going to take the challenge with me?
