  Good Morning everyone! You know...when I was cleaning that room a while back...I found a bunch of junk that I’m not sure why I keep around anymore. So...why? Why am I keeping it?
  
  Today’s Challenge: Choose 1 thing that you don’t use and recycle/donate/ or throw it away.
  
  Not important stuff! Just the stuff that you consider junk. Like for me, I plan on getting rid of books that I didn’t like but people have given me. That way I can fill the shelves with books I like and someone else might like the books instead.

    Hi I would like to try this. A challenge a day. I need some challenges. Today seems simple but it might be hard to do in actually throwing away something :#

    I'm in. I have a box of now too-big clothes that need to be donated and some other stuff I'm tired of walking around.
  • I've been doing this with my son too... He has a hard time giving away or throwing out things

    I have a big pile of newspapers on my kitchen table. I always keep the Sunday comics because I think I'll actually have time to read them during the week. Tonight I am going to use that pile of papers to make a nice, roaring fire while I cook/clean the kitchen.

    I'm in! I have a box of items to donate in my garage that I keep forgetting to take to goodwill. I'm going to peruse my house and see what I can add to it then put it right in my car so I do it off today before picking up my son from school. Great challenge...thank you
  • I actually gave a similar task to my kids this morning. They are on Spring Break so I asked them to clean out their closets of small clothes, shoes & winter wear. I'm sure I have a ton of things I can do the same with. Thanks!

    Great challenge. I actually did this a couple of weeks ago and my house (especially the garage and bedroom) looks much better. However, I notice I have things that I wanted to keep "Just in case" which would probably never happen. So thanks for the challenge..I'm definitely in on this one.

    Just joined. This group seems like exactly what I need. I'm a stay at home mom and getting lazy lately out of boredom. It is true for me that the more I have on my plate the more I actually get done. If I have nothing that I really HAVE to do for the day I don't. Yeah I should clean, or exercise, or take a nap....then I do one thing for the day and say well I did something today. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and I'm going to go clean something out right now!
