Getting rid (to donate, give away, sell, chuck, whatever) of a bag, no matter how large or small every day for 40 days. Retromummy and another blog I follow (whose name currently escapes me grrrr) have mentioned it. They both have Catholic leanings and are doing it as part of lent (so started last Tuesday), but I thought it sounded like a good booster or kickstart.
That does sound like an awesome kickstart! I don't know if I could keep it up for 40 days, though. That is a long time (as anyone who's ever given anything they love up for Lent knows LOL).
Honestly though, I'm not sure I have 40 bags of excessive stuff left in my house to shed. After a year of clearing (in a few big bursts as well as small & incremental steps) I think we're getting down into the deepest layers now. It's less about culling now and more about organisation. The only real exceptions being some paperwork (ongoing) and the shed, which I need some sustained attention/effort from DH for. Then the challenge will be maintaining, in a household full of people who move stuff around and leave it in totally random places. I think we'll need a few more containers and a lot more labels before it's all completely sorted.
