I am still trying to de-clutter, I had no idea when I started seriously de-cluttering my house 3 months ago how much junk and unused stuff and just plain old garbage we had in the house…yuck. It was/is overwhelming. We have designated Saturday as the get-it-out-of-the-house day, which is very helpful. All throughout the week we do little decluttering here and there, and put all the giveaway or recyclable stuff in my car. Then on Saturdays we drop it off. This past Saturday we dropped off 12 old phonebooks and about 50 old magazines (some from 1999! in piles in the basement, I have no idea what we were saving them for) at the magazine recycling drop-off and 3 bags of clothes at Goodwill. I gave away my ancient laptop and 15 discs of old software.

My new plan is to de-clutter 15 minutes a day until it is all gone.
