Decluttering the Stuff for a Decluttered Life in Retirement

Declutter the Purse

This post was inspired by Allison at How to get things done in 10 ways.  Thank you Allison!

Here’s my “before” picture.  It doesn’t look so bad.

Here’s my “everything out”.  It looks like a few receipts, a child’s birthday invite (party was over a week ago), a package of face moisturizer, a pop tab, a few pens, and a few packages of stevia are “excess”.

Here’s my “decluttered” pile.  5 receipts, 1 birthday invite, 2 regal club cards get recycled.  Pop tab goes into the pop tab container, stevia back into the kitchen, moisturizer got used, and a 4 pens are removed.  Actually “decluttered” is the eyeglass cleaner.

    Purses are kind of funny when you think about it. We basically carry around a bag to put stuff in… No wonder we fill them!

    Wow, still MORE pens?? HAHA, those 2 thought they’d be able to escape the Pen Purge of ’16 by hiding out in your purse!
    Good job, Barb!
