A decluttering game..

 I came across a game in an old thread on this forum and thought I would revive it to make decluttering a bit more fun!

 

What you do is pick a type of item or area of the house, post how many to declutter and you and the next person declutters that item or that room. Then they list a type of item and how many to declutter, etc.

And if your feeling really motivates, go ahead and do both!

 

 

Example:


2 pairs of shoes OR 2 items out of your bathroom



Ok..so if I decluttered 2 pairs of shoes

Now declutter 3 toys OR 3 items out of your bedroom.

Etc....

You get the general idea.

 

 


Ok, I'll start...

 

 

 

Declutter 2 magazines or 2 items from your desk.

I'm game...

I threw away 2 items from my desk

 

Next:

 

Empty 3 household trashcans or toss 3 plastic bags (of some sort)

 

 

Hey clutterwarrior does the # to toss increase with each person so would the next be "4" or are we just picking random numbers??

Just random numbers, whatever you want to choose!

 

OK I'm off to empty the trashcans!

Can I play too? I found four expired meds to toss, and I put them in a bag to take to the expired meds bin when I go out in a couple of hours...

 

Now declutter 2 items from your home office or put away clean laundry.
