I found another blog which has a "10 things challenge", where each week you go through your house and remove 10 things that you do not need anymore, and give them away- then to share with each other what you were able to remove.   Awesome idea for it to be a group effort, as that is very motivating!    And doing it with baby steps is a good idea too (especially if you've already done the initial purging and are having a hard time finding what else to get rid of - or even if you're beginning the purging process and you don't know quite where to begin).

I think I'd like to do this, and challenge any interested reader to find 10- 20 items from around your house this week, and give it away, then write a list of what you removed from the house and post it below.  That's all.   So much easier than finding a hefty sack of clothes or large tub of books.  (Although, if you want, you could count either of those things as an item in the challenge).

You could even write a blog post about it, with pictures, and link it below too. *Hint hint*  I'll post pictures of mine when I have it all together!

Here is the link to the 10 things challenge post that gave me the idea.

Anyone want to participate?  It'll be fun!

Oh, and another thought- the things you collect don't have to go anywhere in particular, of course.   You could do freecycle, craigslist, salvation army, goodwill, or even just give it to a close friend or something...whatever works for you!
