I remember the first year I did the yearly declutter challenge I counted every bag of trash and recycling as a win until it was all out of the house and taking it out was a habit. Doing papers feels the same. I am counting every single paper as I need the psychological win to ever make it through all the paper I have. Yay for dopamine helping to meet a challenge!

I usually count every single paper, too, for the same reason. I also want to acknowledge the effort I've made. Since every paper/paper group discarded went out as the result of a decision, each gets counted. My getting rid of a paper is every bit as challenging as someone else's efforts in ridding themselves of clothes or memorabilia that no longer are needed. I do wish I got bigger dopamine hits, though!

Funny to read this paper talk as I was thinking about how to count paper for this challenge. For me, it will fluctuate based on how hard or how important the decision was. For example any old school paper of DD’s will be counted individually as each piece will be a hard decision. Financial papers will prob be counted generally page by page because I am so eager to get my records cleaned up and stop the over filing that has left me with such a backlog. But other papers might be counted as a clump of papers.
