Success Story update- successfully decluttered 500+ items
i completed the challenge! more than 500 items have been decluttered. i will probably keep decluttering in the following days to throw away anything i might have missed, but i already feel so much better, house feels cleaner and emptier (good thing) it's also really easy to locate my things and put them away because everything has a place and i put 1000% the effort to make sure that things had their place in the path of least resistance (or the path with less friction) i actually like being in my home now, so i highly recommend doing it!
all items have been either trashed or gifted to friends and family

Ah, now I wish I had started counting when I really started a couple weeks ago…

Damn, I feel like I should do something similar to this
Might actually motivate and get me pumped up for doing it.
I have tons of small things, do they also make the count, or is it just bigger things like pieces of clothing and etc?

Congratulations, that’s a huge improvement. I put together a bag of cosmetics I haven’t used in a while to either donate or dispose today. Feeling pretty good saying goodbye to these things.

does declutter mean you sorted through that many items or got rid of that many?? either way I’m super impressed! what were some of the big hitters? (like 23/08 and 24/08)

Didn't know wthis was a challenge thing. Maybe I should have adopted something like this when I was decluttering. Congrats on your decluttering journey!
