Yay - I will toss my stuff in the great pile too. I am horrible at keeping track so I will just do the best I can and toss trash with abandon and joy. Yes, that’s the way to do it! Glad you’ll be adding to the Great Pile! I like that.

i always lose interest in counting and totals, after about 3 days ... but so far since 1/1 i tossed or recycled: 2 broken ornaments 3 ratty clothing items gave away a christmas decoration put 2 catalogs into recycle. 1 hardly-used "ultimate" planner - - won't need to waste my money there again! that's 9 things. i will count papers but not usual trash. i'm counting every little thing, not boxes. but i wish i were up to that type of readiness to part with my crap! when i soon give up counting or forget where i am, which happens soon after 10, i will add as much kindling as possible to the great bonfire of released stuff.

I’m not good at counting the items and it triggers my anxiety (did I count every single item?) meh I hate my brain but I’m committing definitely to the 6 items a day so I know I will achieve the minimal by the end of the year
Today was a tray of approximately 10 out of date old spices/herbs
4th January - check!

This looks like it'll be good for me. I may do things and weight lost. We'll see how it goes. Ok 6 items a day. So I need 24 items today to catch up. Sounds like it's time to clean out some drawers!

5th Jan (Items from the cupboard 10yrdold(!) Box of old curtain blinds Bicycle water bottle Old printing paper for printer which doesn’t exist An old vhs Unwanted photos Folder and admin stuff An old broom handle ?! ... 6 things done (probably more) Discovered a sad diary from the year I left school filled with body dysmorphia and self hatred. Couldn’t quite part with it yet but will have a read and then get rid tomorrow’s. Made me a bit sad to read it but that’s why it’s time to move on from... 17yrs ago!
