Declutter with me!
My name is Laurel, and some of you expressed a desire to declutter your spaces. Well I need to declutter too!
If it's OK with the admins, I want to post a few QUICK decluttering challenges each week.
Challenge #1
QUICK!
Turn on some fun music, grab a trash bag, and set your timer for 5 minutes! Race through your house and throw all the trash you can find in the bag.
When you are done, feel free to celebrate 🎉 in this thread! We can celebrate our wins together.
And.....GO!
@easyScarf7950 I need this so badly 😢
@sadcat13 Make it fun, and keep it simple! You got this! 💪
@easyScarf7950 I will 😊
Yeah girl, do this today! You have been given your mission. Do you choose to accept it??? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I will, but can do it only later haha, I have a work chain and a headbonk triggered OCD going on, so this is Monday program 😁
Huh???? Lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 working too many consecutive days to have energy for other stuff, and bonked my head at work and brain is being dramatic about it 😅
Concussion?
@jesusredeemedme2425 i don´t think so, at least i hope, but brain is totally thinking the what ifs
Perhaps you loosened all your brain cells and they’re all bouncing around in there :P
@jesusredeemedme2425 totally. All 3 of them. Rip me. I´m just panicking out of my mind. But no vomiting, fainting, seasures or anything of the actually dangerous stuff happened but tell that to my ocd
Bro I was kidding. You’re fine <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 well. Seems like you have to bear with me a while longer haha
How’d you get a GIF of you???? ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 Reality is an illusion, and you can make screenshots or clips if you focus hard enough 😁
Did you do it yet ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 uhhhhh 😇
You have a day off today don’t you ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 i do 😇
Welllllll… ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 hihi, tomorrowwww maybeee? 😇 (as you see, i´m one of those who really badly need this thread lol)
Hehe it’s all good <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 please remind me tomorrow 🤣
@sadcat13 If you do the challenge at all, you have permission to do it badly! You don't have to race through the house if you don't have the energy. You could set a goal for how many things you throw away in 5 minutes, even if that goal is 3 things.
@easyScarf7950 Mission accomplished. 
Awesome sauce!
@easyScarf7950 I love it when you set the timer and when the timer goes off you find yourself getting in the groove, so you can keep going 😊
Sometimes it doesn't go like that and taking a break when the timer goes off is okay too! Even 5 minutes can help make a dent.
Exactly! You don't have to get everything done in 5 minutes, just what you can. No pressure to work beyond those 5 minutes.
Add music for extra motivation ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 Yes! I made myself a cleaning playlist that helps make it more fun. Dance cleaning!
@easyScarf7950
I brought thirty books to a local charity shop, two bags of clothes and recycled multiple bags of clothes and threw alot of rubbish out, I had been putting this off for ages, so thank you. When I got to charity shop, I seen a poster looking for things for people who are struggling for Christmas so I was able to also out something into place to help 💖
@Amanda84 that's fantastic 😊 🎉
@ShadowFaerie
Thank you 💕
@easyScarf7950
I actually do that on a regular basis. I get the habit from my mom. I never hoard any items. I look for things that are close to expiry and dispose them off to prevent clutter.
@easyScarf7950 @jesusredeemedme2425 I did it 😁😁😁😁 I threw out all trash I could see in my room. Told you I will get around eventually 😁😁😁
WOO-HOO!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@easyScarf7950
@sadcat13
@Amanda84 slowly but surely, i´m getting there, one step at a time 😁
@sadcat13
YAYYYYYYYYYY! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 😊
@easyScarf7950 omg i love this challenge. decluttering is such a task but it can be turned into something fun
@easyScarf7950 I do good with trash. The trash cans get full, it's all gathered and thrown away. Some things get recycled. It's other things that it's hard to get rid of 😅
@easyScarf7950
I really miss these threads, Laurel 🥹❤️
@trueconfidant123
Hi! I've had to take a break, but maybe I will do some more soon! I recently threw out some clothing that no longer fits. I've been more focused on trying to maintain routines without exhausting myself. My life is in flux right now.
@easyScarf7950
That sounds like a lot. It makes sense you needed a break to protect your energy. I hope things feel steadier soon. I’d love to see your threads again whenever you’re ready.
Hugs if okay! 🫂❤️
Lemme help y’all out here lol!
Next challenge: Check the dates on everything in your fridge, and toss the expired stuff <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Thank you for taking over Kiara 😂❤️
You’re welcome! Let me know when you guys are ready for the next one! <3
