Decluttering Challenge: The 12 Days of Decluttering!

 

In today's post, I'll share a fun way to help others while you are at home -- a 12 Days of Decluttering Challenge!

This challenge mirrors the 12 Days of Christmas song.  However, instead of your true love giving gifts, your family declutters and gives away items that they no longer need. Help others just before Christmas!

On the first day, you'll give away 12 items. On the second day, you'll give away 11 items. On the third day, you'll give away 10 items. You will repeat this pattern until the 12th day when you give away one special item. In the end, you will have given away 78 items.   

You may want to share the items on your FB page for friends and family to pick up. You may want to share in a Nextdoor group in case neighbors would like to pick up items.  You may donate the items to a good cause. There are many ways to give items away and your house may feel cleaner!

Feel welcome to count these items in any way that speaks to you. For instance, you may count 16 dishes as 16 items or as one set of dishes. You may also change it to one item a day or scale the challenge to 6 days. Choose whatever makes sense for you and have fun!
