For a few years now I have seen the 40 bags in 40 days challenge float around, a lot of the time during Lent. I am working on trying this challenge again.
I found a great blog post on it over at White House Black Shutters. She talks about how to declutter your place in 40 days with 40 bags. The great thing is that the “bag” has no limits…it can be a yard waste bag, a plastic bag, a paper bag, a box basically whatever you use that you can put stuff in to toss and get rid of.
Don’t focus on the bags. Focus on getting all of the unnecessary stuff out in one spot per day. Don’t go nuts and tackle five spots because you want to prove something. Don’t get all bummed out because you missed a day (or ten). Just focus on one. spot. per. day.
You might have 40 bags, you might have 12, and you might have 73 1/2 bags, 4 boxes, 2 dumpsters, a chair, and a piano. It’s all good. 🙂
I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH STUFF TO DO 40 BAGS!
Show off.
Kidding! I don’t think I do either, but every year I tell myself that. Read the last question and focus on the spots instead of the number of bags.
Thank you so much for this. I have trying to do this at my house but I hope this will give me more motivation
