Just one load to take out of dishwasher, the kitchen floor to be washed and my kitchen deep clean is finished five days ahead of schedule. I can't believe how much I have managed to achieve in planned out fifteen minute stints. Some days I was able to do more than one fifteen minute job, other days not. Tomorrow I start my February project which is de-cluttering my general purpose room and boy is there a lot in there I can get rid of! Today's throw outs were 6 chipped plastic containers and one defunct toaster. Total so far 707. Great job on the kitchen deep clean! That's fantastic!

I was able to put 2 rusty bikes on the curb for bulky pickup as well as a suitcase that was damaged. I also put some large plastic toys into the recycle bin.

Ooh, I love this thread! I got a chart from a minimalism blog to do 2016 last year, but I didn't keep very good track. For 2017, I've been making great progress -- almost to 400! My personal rules (which I admit to not necessarily following strictly ) are that regular ordinary trash doesn't count, but trash I've been hanging onto for some reason does. For example, the grocery store weekly ads don't count if I get them and toss them right away. But if they've stacked up three weeks deep, those count. Trash, donations, sales on ebay all count, but digital (emails, etc) don't. A couple big items that were emotionally difficult and/or arduous to get out of here counted for extra. So far, I have P-R-I-N-T-E-R-! taking up 8 boxes and B-L-U-E-L-A-P-T-O-P taking up 10. Because those were doozies to prep and deliver for electronic recycling. Looking forward to updating here as well as my chart!
