I have always admired the people that join these threads. It always seems a little overwhelming to me. I just decided to make a commitment to do 12 15-minute decluttering sessions per week. I realized that I only have to toss 4 items per session to meet this goal. That makes this seem doable! I don't know if I can stick with this. We will see.

Glad you're going to give it a shot, Ally. I haven't gotten back to BIT for months now, but I'd think there are some chapters and exercises that might link nicely with 2022 Items. I was able to do 2020 items even though I didn't start until July. In 2021, I was going great through September, but stopped and have now decided to finish it off before proceeding to 2022. I had a point... Oh, yes. What I found was that I was actively seeking out things I didn't need. I suddenly realized things that had been hanging around because they could be useful didn't need to occupy my precious space after all. The result has been, of course, that I don't remember much of what was released, and I regret none of it. Good luck! The math as you've done it is pretty compelling!
