Simplify~ One A Day Challenge Day 6

Today is the last day of our challenge.  If you have been following along this week you most likely now have a pile, maybe even a mountain of items that are going out of your house. 

Our challenge today is two fold.

1.  Go back to the one area that you feel you want to do more work in.  I know you may want to weed more out of all of the areas we tackled this week but for now just pick the most urgent one.  Go ahead and spend some more time today weeding out and organizing.

2.  Today is the day that we take all of the items we have weeded out to the donation center.  It is important to have a plan in place to actually deliver the boxes or bags of goods otherwise we end up creating a new problem. 

If we allow the bags and boxes to remain in our homes items tend to migrate out of the box as we second guess our decision.  You have worked hard this week to gather up all of these items, now go donate them so they can bless someone else.

There are many donation centers around, I'm sure your town or a town close to you has one.  Usually  you can get a receipt from them as your donation is a tax deduction.  Some donation centers will come and pick things up from you. 

Where ever you decide to donate do it today and one more thing, do not go into the second hand store because you might come out of there with all kinds of things you do not need. 

Remember keep at it and keep it simple.

  1. Can we save our stuff for a garage sale when it gets warmer? Or do we have to take it out TODAY?

    1. You can save it but move it out of the way and then REMEMBER you have it for the sale.
