Decluttering

27 Things Find a New Home


Declutter activity for today:
The 27-Fling Boogie for items that need to find a new home

Grab a trash bag or a box and run through the house as fast as you can and grab 27 items that you do not love, need, or use. These items are clutter and they need to find a new home. Once you’ve filled the bag with 27 items to give away, either immediately take it to a charity drop-off location, or put it in your car to drop off THIS WEEK.

Or, if you think the items are saleable, our Prosperity Group will hold a garage sale when the weather gets a little warmer. If you do not have room for the bag or if you think you will nostalgically look through the bag at a later date and gradually re-clutter your home, email Shirley or Melissa and we will make arrangements to store the items elsewhere for you until the garage sale. The money from the garage sale will be used to do something fun for our group!

One other option is to sign up for Freecycle at Yahoo Groups. Freecycle allows you to list items you want to give away so someone who needs them can come get them from you for free.

Again, move through today’s decluttering as quickly as possible so we can get to the fun stuff!

27 Fling Boogie

Some thoughts on clutter from Sink Reflections by Marla Cilley:

  • Are you living in CHAOS? (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome?)
  • Clutter affects you mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.
  • Clutter is the enemy of feng shui. Clutter causes the chi (energy) of your home to stagnate.

Clutter steals your money! You know you own a specific item, but you cannot find it when you need it, so you’re forced to run out and buy another.

Clutter steals your time, energy, and sanity! How much money do you spend each year trying to “organize” and manage your clutter? How much time do you invest?

Clutter cannot be organized! Evict your clutter and breathe a sigh of relief!

Today, we are doing the “27-Fling Boogie!”

  • Grab a trash bag and run through the house as fast as you can and dispose of 27 items.
  • Put the bag in the trash.
  • Do not look through it.
  • Don’t re-clutter your home – De-Clutter!

The point is to do this as quickly as possible so we are not spending more time than necessary decluttering and we can get to the fun stuff in our day.

Alternatively, you could visit The Plan , a nifty little website I found that handles the various problems and issues associated with “disposophobia”. This is what they had to say:

DISPOSOPHOBIA The Fear of Getting Rid of Stuff..

People who suffer from maladies such as depression or obsessive compulsive disorders often end up buying things, bringing them home and dropping them. Rather than looking for what they own, they simply go out and buy more and do the same thing…..over and over and over again.

We call this behavior….. Shop ‘n Drop.

This is only one of the many issues that we address and provide solutions. The Plan for you or a loved one’s recovery can be found at 1 800 THE PLAN. Recovery could be just days away…call 1-800-THE PLAN to schedule an appraisal.

Feng Shui for Prosperity


On Wednesday, Jan 3, we will be getting started with “Feng Shui and Clearing Our Clutter for Prosperity!”

The books we will be using are:

We are taking baby steps with our decluttering and feng shui, so no one feels overwhelmed. If you have more experience with feng shui and want to go gung-ho this month, feel free to do more than the activities we will have listed each day. But for the rest of us, we are baby-stepping our way through this fun learning experience into a calmer, more harmonious living environment.

What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is a term borrowed from the Chinese that refers to a system of thoughtful placement of the furnishings in our living environment to positively affect our chi (energy). When an area of your home (or car, or desk at work) is out of balance, you can employ a “cure” to bring balance to that area. A cure is specifically placing an item in a particular area to help you in life.

We hope that you will join us. This project is Melissa’s baby. She has put a lot of time and effort into breaking it into manageable portions. So, thank you Melissa! I think it’s going to be a great learning experience as well as an interesting experiment.
