Has anybody ever heard of the 21 Day Declutter game?
You challenge a friend and then ....
Day 1 - throw away one thing you don't use
Day 2 - throw away two things
Day 3 - throw away three things
Day 4 - throw away four things
all the way up to day 21. The first person that runs out of things they want to throw out loses.
I might challenge myself to this. Have you ever done this?

@Sasquatchy A couple of battered pillows. We just bought some new ones after years.

I do that every time I move. Since I'm a renter, that's every year or two. I really don't have much around here that is used. My DIL, on the other hand, has the storage shed full and her room is wall to wall stuff. I remember when I was young having a lot of stuff made me feel secure and now I'm the complete opposite.

I have a friend that does that too. He throws out or gets rid of a lot of his stuff. Always donating.
I'd think it would be a hard thing to do.

@Sasquatchy The only thing hard about it is finding out months later that I need something I'd been holding onto "just in case"!!

@dragon54u I understand that. I hold on to everything. My wife said I'd be a hoarder if I had my way.

I never do this, because I don't have so many things I should throw away.

I think that might be the point of it. To only keep the things that you shouldn't throw away. That you need, or brings you joy.

It's hard to get rid of stuff! I'm trying to do the challenge but only with old stuff I know I won't miss
