I find it challenging to let go of things with memories attached but am so happy with cleaner spaces.<br /> Pondering a big purge. Haven’t brought it up to DH yet but considering that we only keep what fits neatly in our home and garage. Rather than keeping everything we want to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130633 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 14:41:34 +0000 nemosmom 2130633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cleaning out feels SO good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130622 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 13:59:28 +0000 cindysmith 2130622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have reminded me that I have much cleaning to do. I moved and started a new job last week, so everything got a bit out of control. I'm glad you got your garage cleaned out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130327 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 21:59:13 +0000 brooklynsparrow 2130327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! I envy y'all.

We put out all the trash, recycling, scraps to compost on Sundays, and it's so nice to get "back to zero" ( I think I got that from GTD). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130138 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 22:22:22 +0000 avicennia 2130138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful — I can’t stand clutter, even in closets, laundry room, etc. Pre-Covid, I’d regularly place items a box in the back of my car and drop-off at the charity shop at least twice a month. A pet peeve is people giving us things we don’t need. I don’t mean to sound churlish, but we need a lot less stuff than we think we do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130090 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 18:59:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2130090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love abit of decluttering So totally get your joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130054 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 16:40:24 +0000 Janet 2130054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It always feels so freeing to get rid of stuff like that -- even if it's not in the way, it's like a mental weight just knowing it's there! I have probably 10 trash bags of stuff in the garage waiting to be able to donate it. It's hard to find good takers right now during Covid19.&nbsp;</p> <p>A few days ago, I bit the bullet and cleaned out our laundry room closet, which is a catchall that contains cleaning supplies, lightbulbs, dog supplies, etc. I cried while cleaning out all of the things we used for the pugs, now that there are no more pugs in this house. But the final result is a closet that is so much easier to use. It was a big, emotional task, but I'm glad I did it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130053 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 16:37:50 +0000 Angie 2130053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feels great to clean up!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130026 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 14:00:18 +0000 RobinF 2130026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feels so good to clean out like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sometimes-it-is-the-simple-things#post-2130001 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 11:57:33 +0000 Inge 2130001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!!

Four boxes of old oil based paints, paint thinner, old fire extinguisher, etc. ended up in our garage. Our town used to have an annual hazardous waste disposal day but even with an appointment and waiting in line for two hours we didn’t get in,&nbsp;<br />This year they changed the procedure and I was able to offload all of that yesterday, easy peasy. I was so excited I clapped for joy on my way out!</p>
