Are you ready to get rid of 2013 things this year?

| Would you like to see less of this? |
Subscribe to the Nourishing Minimalism Mailing List and receive a free printable chart!
Each time you get rid of an item, put an "X" on a square (or black it out, depending on who's helping check the boxes!!)
 |
| And more of this? |
Keep the chart on the front of the refrigerator or a cupboard where you can watch your progress and keep motivated.
If you have children, get them involved! Let them mark the boxes. Use different colors for different family members so they can see how much they contributed!
Plan out a celebration after each hundred is reached.
Join the discussion on Facebook and tell us what you have been able to get rid of! Let's be each other's cheerleaders!
Don't forget: Subscribe to Nourishing Minimalism newsletter to receive your free printable chart!!
Let me know in the comments that you are going to take the challenge! Tell your friends so they can join the challenge too!
This is a brilliant idea. We did something similar last year, but without the inspiring and motivational chart. Looking forward to what it may bring! Happy new year.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I subscribed.
ReplyDeletei'm all over this!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! We're moving in a few days so I think that right now is the perfect time to get a great start on this! We had a fire about a year ago and lost almost everything which, in all honesty, was sort of a mixed blessing. Perhaps God was reminding me once again what is really and truly important?? :- ) Anyway, I sure miss you and will make sure I keep you updated on our "2013 in 2013" progress!! - Rebekah and family
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebekah! Glad you've joined me here! So sorry you had a fire! I have some friends here that had a fire too, and I know it was tramatic for them, but I honestly was a bit jealous- it would avoid all the sentamental garbage we deal with when trying to get rid of stuff. I hope you can weed out a bunch with your move!
DeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteI already have a bag full-ready to toss..didn't count anything..oh well... "One... " ;)

ReplyDeleteTotally in. It was already a goal to purge my basement this year (on the heels of 5 moves in 2 years followed by a year standing still to recover). This is just going to ante up the game. I already have stuff in my living room packed and ready to go, so this is just in time! Reposted, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteAdorei eu queria tambem a lista
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic idea!!
ReplyDeletei signed up and cant figure out how to get the printable. I clicked on my email to confirm and it just brought me back to this site?? thanks.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing! We just moved from a 900 sq ft house to a 3000 sq ft house (we are a family of 6) and I mistakenly thought this alone would create a simple and decluttered home. But we had jammed SO MUCH STUFF into our little place! I want to enjoy our new space, not just cram it up with stuff again!
ReplyDeleteI am in for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI just subscribed and can't wait to start the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteAny ideas for encouraging young children to de-clutter? My 4 year old and I both see things not just as things, but we see the person who gave us that item and when. I have slowly broken out of the hoarding/saving mentality I grew up with and don't want her to grow up the same way.
ReplyDeleteSo far, the only thing she seems ok with is giving her old clothes to her new baby cousin, so I guess that's a start!
Ideas appreciated!
I love decluttering challenges, but if our family got rid of 2013 things we'd be naked and have an empty house.
ReplyDeleteMy family is going to do this!! It's April already, but we have plenty of ways to catch up. Ha! Thank you so much. I'm excited I found your blog.
