Welcome, All, to a wonderful SOoS Tradition: the 2022 Things thread! The goal: to get 2022 items out of our homes by the end of 2022 The method: that is up to you!
You might imagine that 2022 things is a huge number and that only those with the
worst hoards could manage it, but I've got a secret for you:
Even if you don't have squalor, or behavior recognized as hoarding, you might have enough extra stuff to do this challenge too. Lots of people have "clutter," even if there is room for it in your home.
You might also imagine that 2022 things is WAY too many to consider, but let's do the math: That's just FIVE AND A HALF THINGS A DAY! That's it! Five things one day, six things the next! (And seven things once a month, or so.) 2020 divided by 52 weeks = 38.88 You can toss 40 things in a week! Or even a weekend. No problem! and as long as I have my calculator out, I'll do the month (but it's a bigger number, so you might want to skip this one) 2022 divided by 12 = 168.5 Past participants have counted every little thing, or counted boxes or bags of things.
Some of us count papers by the sheet or inch or bundle.
We've counted trash, donations, gifts, and the release of habits, weight, and even people!
Jump in when and how you like, or just drop in to cheer us on.
Everything we get rid of is a great accomplishment, even if we miss the mark.
Won't you join us? You've got nothing but clutter to lose! | |

Give me a few minutes while I try to fix the formatting....
Well, that's the best I could do! (I think mylittlescholar has magic powers far beyond my abilities, and it's playing with the text I tried to copy!)
Jump right in!
(I'm probably going to finish off 2021 on the 2021 Items thread, but then I'll be back here.)

This is a fabulous thread to kick off the New Year of 2022. Definitely count me in... to begin with: I will donate some earrings ( new, never worn) and maybe I can work my way up to some really large items like a couch or two.  |

Weeeeeeeeeee! a New Year and another 2022 items!
My husband and I were both in purge mode. Items were exercise items, bathroom declutter, kitchen declutter, recipe and cookbook declutter (this totaled 240 items alone!) and shed declutter.
My first post is a motivator when I added up all the numbers on the chalk board it came to ....
516!

Yes WOW peaceseker, that is an incredible start to your year. Well done!
It maybe a little hard for me to do much decluttering for the next week. Someone in our building has tested positive for covid, so it makes us a bit anxious moving in and out of our unit, and I’m not sure if I can easily donate things to op shops this week as many still aren’t open. I will try to do some more paper recycling, we will see how I go.
I hope everyone stays healthy and it is lovely to see the enthusiasm to get purging, I hope the enthusiasm is contagious.

I will definitely join in on this again since I seriously need to do major work on the house. Will hopefully be able to start tomorrow since I was busy running around with appointments today.
