Overnight while tossing and turning, I decided to watch a video on declutering, and the person in the video said pick any random odd number, (she uses 21) and go into an area and try to eliminate that many things as quickly as you can.
I though that could seem like an intimidating number to some people, so I thought why not roll some dice to pick the number of items that I would purge. So here is my first go-round. I'm keeping it simple
So here is my list of rooms/areas: 1. entry 2. bedroom 3. bathroom 4. kitchen/dining area 5. laundry room 6. computer area
Round 1: I chose to roll 3 dice at random.org. I got a 5, 3, 3. Laundry room, 6 items Here I go.
Edit: Reporting back: That was actually quite easy. While in there I also started a load of laundry. I think I should fold some laundry that I washed on Wednesday, but never put away. Then I plan to be back for another round.
Round 2: 4, 2, 1 = kitchen/dining area, 3 items, this should be easy!

I haven't played in a long time and around here....it shows. So going to make a list and make a serious effort. I made a list on notepad but while working on the first one (laundry) I thought of several more things to add to a list, so here goes. 2. Kitchen 3. Middle room 4. Porch 5. Dishes 6. Laundry 7. Outside 8. Water plants 8b Sweep hall 9. Feed fish 10. Choice 11. Pantry 12. Dining room 12b Bedroom I need to feed my cats....and I already rolled 6 and got a load of laundry going. I made the list kind of general because I have multiple tasks to do in each room. Next roll is 12....dining room. Not much to do in dining room....so added bedroom to list. Next roll is 8..water plants. I added hall to the list after finishing plants. Watered plants. Next roll is 8 again. Going to sweep hall, which won't take but a couple of minutes and eat lunch. Well, that was anything but quick. I had some catfish I bought night before last...was going to fry. Takes about 5 min. So I made tartar sauce because we eat a lot of seafood and I don't like store bought. Then the catfish didn't pass the sniff test, so I thawed out some shrimp and fried those. I did get the hall swept though. Next roll is 6 again, so I will do another load of laundry. I am caught up on laundry now. Next roll was 10...choice. I am going to sweep the bedroom and feed the fish. I have to go to town to get hay for the horses, so won't do anything else until I get back, and then it will be time to feed the horses.

I'm going to play again today. I got side tracked yesterday because one of the donkeys got out and got in a fight with one of the others. That took me awhile to get him secured...safely secured...so I could go to town to get hay. I am going to feed the animals and will be back in a little bit to make my list. (My husband came home and brought two trash bags full of dirty clothes...so my laundry is no longer caught up!) ******************************************************************************************** It takes an hour and a half to get everything fed in the mornings...and again in the evenings, which takes a big chunk of my day...but I am ready to go (finally). I am not going to put laundry on the list because I have so much to do, I will just load the machine every time I walk past it. I have to go to town to get feed, but the store I go to keeps odd hours, so I can't go until after 3. So, until then...the list! 2. Email 3. Kitchen 4. Bathroom 5. Bedroom 6. Pantry 7. Dishes 8. Choice 9. Outside 10. Pot up daylily seedlings 11. Feed fish and fill water troughs, watergarden maintenance 12. Middle room First roll is 8...choice. I am going to start in the kitchen because I have a lot to do in there...going to clean off the island...and while I am at it....start a load of laundry. Sorted laundry and washed one load of laundry and then washed it again because it was super dirty and greasy. Tore up old towels to make cleaning rags. Cleaned off island and washed down counter with bleach solution. Washed woodwork on island. Next roll is 7, dishes. Got a lot of dishes to wash, including some cookware that has gotten dusty on shelf under island. Will take me a little while to get to all of them. Did two more loads of clothes and got a big dent made in the dishes....dried and put away and replaced shelf paper too. Next roll is 12, middle room. That is a catch all....but I will start on it. Good start on middle room....threw away a trash bag full of stuff and found some linens that need to be washed and put away. Still have about 2/3 of room to go, but need to do other things that need to be done more. Next roll was 7 again...dishes again. Got more dishes out of the way...but it is 3 pm and I need to go to the feed store. Plus, my husband called and wants me to bring him some clean clothes. He isn't coming home tonight...got work to do on the boat. So, I shall return tomorrow. Hard to tell I got anything done in the grand scheme of things but I hope if I keep chipping away at it, I will see results.

It Lives. I was afraid this thread was dead. Yay, I've been playing along on another thread, because I had been all alone over here.
I've been doing lists of Six items, doing 2 or 3, then remaking the list, with a goal of 12 list items a day. Since I've been doing random lists for a year now to get my regular jobs done, each item that may look large to someone else, isn't always so for me, either I've got the room to maintence, or I work for a set time.
0/12
1. Shower 2. Knit on Shawl 3. Cross Stitch 4. KItchen 5. Laundry 6. Start Baking (I have a big baking day Planned today)
