We are moving right along. Here are our completed weeks! Some of us have more stuff to go through than others so the purging is taking a little longer.
Week 1.
Pick-up and put away pick-up and put away everything that is on the floor. We need to make sure we don’t have any tripping hazards. (For me I have a path in my room so I need to widen that area up so I can put things away. You have 3 days to complete this task. Take a pic and post the clean floor.
Please Note: many of us have a lot of stuff on the floor so I've extended this until the end of week 2
Clean off desk – completely clean off your desk. Yep, this means take everything off the desk and wipe it down. Once you’ve got a clean desk sit there for a few minutes and think about what tools you really need at your finger tips, tools you use for every page. (for me that would be my scissors, regular pen, pencil, eraser, hole punch etc…) these items you can put back on your desk in a “with-in reach” location. Everything else you need to find a home for. You have 4 days to complete this task. Take a pic and post the clean desk. Week 1 ends January 8th.
Please note: Many of us are making major changes in our areas if you have not completed this just keep on working, these task are to challenge you to "get'er done" as Larry the cable guy would say!
Week 2 & 3
Purge – OK here we go. Get a notebook and pen and keep it close by to jot things down. This is where we really tend to be pack rats (at least I do). After all we are croppers not collectors. Take a box and put it in the middle of your room along with a trash can or trash bag. Pick one corner of the room and begin. Toss giveaways into the box and items that there’s no longer a use for in the trash. (you would be surprised at all the dried up bottles of paint I found during one of my previous challenges). Wipe down and clean off all containers as you go. As you are going along, think about how this storage is working for you and if you need to make changes or not. (does this need to be closer to your desk or further away) If you need to make changes either during this challenge or in the future stop and jot it down. (here are a couple of mine, I’ll fine tune and shop for things later: don’t like flower storage hard to get to flowers in the back, don’t like ribbon storage solid boxes can’t see the color inside, etc). You have 2 weeks to complete this task. Week 2 & 3 ends January 22.

Hey GG, I know what you mean. I have been purging in my home since Jan 10th. You can read my blog at http://ellieseverydaylife.blogspot.com
I've got so much stuff to get rid of I got migranes from the clutter. I still have the bags of clothes and other items to get rid of besides the stuff that I already threw out. I even did some today. Good luck with your stuff.
