Hi! I'm messimo. I've been in and out of the forums for a number of years. I saw this thread at the beginning of the month and thought I would try to complete this challenge. I figured I would just count the little things--bits of paper, old jars and containers that have been sitting on our kitchen counter, and other miscellaneous small pieces of garbage. I can't check in here very often because I'm also trying to limit my computer time, so I've been tracking things in a notebook. So far I've logged 224 items that I've thrown away, recycled, or shredded. I've got a long way to go. However, even though nothing really looks different, I'm feeling a sense of accomplishment, which is in turn spurring me on to do more. I have to remember this:

Since my last posting on 14th January I've almost finished deep cleaning my kitchen and because it has remained almost totally clutter free for 16 months there's been little to get rid of there. Being old with borderline hypothyroidsm, arthritis and a bad back I can only work 15 minutes at a time before sitting down for 15 minutes, so during my little breaks I have been cleaning up my computer. In the last 9 days I have deleted 128 spam and 50 other emails as well as 50 unwanted photos and other documents. A total of 228 items making my year to date total of 646.
