Decluttering the Stuff for a Decluttered Life in Retirement

3 + 5 = 8

Here’s today’s 3 items plus the 5 from the house I missed a couple of days ago.  I know I decluttered something from my work desk, but it seems like “cheating”.

Isn’t it weird how our brains work on something like this???  We have completely changed up the rules for this decluttering challenge initiated by Anne at MinimalistSometimes and yet I feel I should have the items leave the house.  I suppose they could have even come from the car.

Who’s up for a declutter the car event??  That’s what I’m doing tomorrow!!

So the 8 items for today are an external USB DVD player, 2 software cds, a user’s manual, 2 sound cords for the computer speakers, an ethernet cable, and a printer cable.  These were in a box under John’s desk.  I have no idea why we kept them after the flood but I know we haven’t used or needed them in the last year.  Out they go!!

    I’m with you on the car tomorrow 🙂 Not sure I’ll find 12 items though.. even though I know I will find about 67 parking tickets…

    NO, not the parking tickets you get for doing something illegal, but the ones you get to put in your window to show that you have PAID for parking 😉

    Anyhow.. onward to the car I go (tomorrow).. let the game begin 😉

      LOL I was a little concerned about 67 parking tickets! Now I’m out to declutter something from the car!

    I think the five things you got rid of from your desk counted but oh well, there’s nothing wrong with getting rid of another five!
