Diane, you’ve created a monster! I enjoyed Monday’s decluttering session so much that I repeated it on Tuesday. Did a 10-minute kitchen clean yesterday (and posted), then repeated it today and went further while the coffee was brewing. I cleaned one countertop and the stovetop and emptied and rinsed out jars of items past their prime for recycling. It’s freed up space and made me take note of a couple of special tasks I have to add to my list. Thanks so much for the push! Oh, and yesterday I was able to take the items I’ve decluttered over the last couple of weeks to a distribution event for refugees. It was so gratifying to see my “extras” go directly to those who could really use them. YAY!

I had an appendectomy a few weeks ago and afterward only felt like laying on the couch for about 10 days. I did declutter 70 or more books during that recovery time. But somehow, I didn't get back to my cleaning routines once I started feeling better. Today I looked at my house and said, "It's time." I first followed along with a Weekly Declutter, then I followed along with this video, and my kitchen looks much better. Now I'll sweep my floors and then I'll take a break.
