    Ok - one of my challenges is decluttering. You guys know my desk is a mess. Imagine my house! Each day this week I spent time doing small decluttering projects. Today - I start on my closet. I’m a little afraid of what I’m going to find. BUT, I have the boxes ready to fill with items to be donated. Fingers crossed you will see me tomorrow. If you don’t, you’ll find me in the pile of rubble in my closet.

    The trouble of decluttering and making sure you are recycling, or donating items, and getting the donated items to where they need to go is enough effort to provide a reasonable reminder to be sure not have to go through all that effort again.

    What have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?

    I’ve noticed that I am less likely to spend less when I write down what I’m spending. It’s a great combination with the want vs need challenge.
