I'm still with you. Yesterday I emptied the contents of 3 doors of my TV cabinet--lots of papers, never used folders, notebooks, pens, etc. (OK, some of the stuff I need to go through is still sitting on a chair!) I'll donate some of the supplies and give some to a school age boy who might be able to use them. I have 2 more doors and 4 drawers to go that have been used as convenient places to store stuff--plus a pull out that has old VCR tapes in it!

I'm still with you too and I may not even be done in 15 weeks!!!!!! This past week I worked on a big container of papers/pictures from my grandmother's past. Got rid of a lot of papers and kept the pictures so far. Also, gave away a few more pieces of clothing. Another area I worked on is our freezer and pantry which I will continue with this week. Not sure if it is fair to count tossing outdated food but.....................

Still need to decide on an area/areas for this week. I do tend to skip around. Thank you for keeping this going.

Yes satine. 15 items per week in 15 weeks in 2015. You can still join in. It's easy to come up with more than 15 things a week so you can easily catch up. You can donate, throw away, give away or sell, just 15 items gone from your house.

Because today and Thursday are my only free days this week I finished early. I went to a closet upstairs and now have 15+ items to donate. Next week I will get my husband to move a large boxed Christmas tree and can get more from the same closet.

I am so happy my sons won't have to fool with my junk.

Ok, great. I'll join in and in fact I have a box with some things to donate sitting in the foyer by my front door. I'll add more items and drop them off on Thursday.

I know I won't be done in 15 weeks, but this challenge keeps me to my promise to do some decluttering every week.

Marcia, I don't think I will be done in 15 weeks either but I'm going to try hard to get my house as decluttered as I can. It just feels so good.

I was reading something yesterday and it said that several sources suggested that hoarding is more than just having. It's having without using. Hoarding means withholding what we don't even use from others who may need or treasure it.

Just sending lots of encouragement. I fell off the wagon about a month ago and haven't gotten back on since, I'm sorry to say. I wish I had the committment many of you seem to have. I think this is harder than spring cleaning for sure.

For those of you who have just started, don't feel bad, I'll be right there with you starting in again next week. It's going to be an uphill battle all the way but I know it's doable if I can get out of my own way and just stick with it.
