I cleaned off my bedroom dresser 5 items at a time. So I commit to 5 items permanently removed from my house every day till I'm satisfied. I mean, till it looks good enough to have people over!

I got rid of paper, junk mail.. I am usually good about tossing it when it comes in.. but apparently not as good as I thought! I threw out the Pasta Boat Box, and a couple of boxes from Amazon. I do not need to save boxes! I was out most of the day.. but before I left and when I got home, I thought what can I toss.
I am so glad that you all joined in. Def6, Cando and Sunshinehouse, you encourage me. We can encourage each other.

You too Arid.. and all who contribute, so do not feel slighted if I forget anyone. Just one thing, and like I said if you want to keep a total and post at the end of the week, great!
I spent some time in my office today and found more paper to toss! Papers from my old job. Why would I keep that stuff? Old bills I do not need, I pay everything on line except my mortgage, because I can do that in person. I need to keep very little, today all of it is access on line if I need a statement or copy.
I am going to try and find something to get rid of today for most tasks that I do. While I was unloading the dishwasher, I thought to look in my drawer.. where are those 2 big plastic spoons I got from my job, and I kept them, I don't like them.. there is something off about them. I have much nicer! Out they go. I have learned from the BF, who is an Executive Chef.. you can wash it and reuse it while cooking, you don't have to have 10 big spoons to cook with.. ( though he as a pro, has 50 available, he doesn't have to wash)!
I have had a neat home in my past.. and something I learned in the past, in many life situations. I do ask myself this question, if I do this, or don't do this what is the worst thing that could happen? I do that with some of my "things" I need to get rid of. What is the worst thing that could happen if I get rid of or toss something? Often the answer is nothing I could not deal with. Of course I have not tackled my clothing hoard yet! Keep going all!
