The obvious answer for me to "Do this" is "be nicer" but I'm talking about projects I've put aside.  The big one for me is "clean up my closet!"  Do you have any?  

Last year was eating better, and I do feel better and weigh less.  Now it is getting my closet to where I only have what I will wear, things aren't jammed in, and I get rid of things I don't like, and buy some new things to make more sense for me.

I am seeing results.  I just try to do a little every few days and it is paying off (well, not paying off the new clothes ) and someone may benefit from what I donate.

So what's hanging around (pun intended) at your house?  Any simple projects you are putting off?  Bookshelves?  Kitchen counters?  Laundry room?  Enlighten us!

We're getting ready for a townwide garage sale the middle of next month. That means we have a lot of stuff collecting in the garage and it's getting on my nerves.  So, I guess I could say my life would improve by "getting rid of the clutter".  

I guess that could be taken a couple of ways, so "life clutter" could apply as well.

Stop procrastinating. I'm not lazy, I just overthink everything and it takes me awhile to buckle down and tackle the project.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

My kitchen.

I have a small kitchen, which I don't mind. I don't have a pantry.

I need to make the most of the space I have.

My idea would be to empty out every shelf in every cabinet.

Dump what might be out of date, donate about half of my various tools & pots & pans, dishes, etc., and replace what's left in a way that's more organized.

Just do it, right?

Make multiple trips to Goodwill and the county dump.

My kitchen pantry needs an overhaul..I just can't get started with that.I try to rotate things as I buy new..but some things get missed.

I did the laundry room last week..found a bottle of detergent I didn't know I had.

I'm sure there is stuff that can be tossed..plastic containers,etc.

DH needs to tackle the garage..and put away the winter tools.

When my boys come..I need them to change a few ceiling light bulbs..or they don't get fed..LOL..If they eat first..nothing gets done.

De-clutter would help me as well.

@Sooner   Do you read the "Declutter 2023: What have you purged today" topic?  It is interesting and informative regarding posters decluttering efforts.  There is one every year for the past few years.

I just started with the 2023 one.  You can find it by just posting Declu in the Search Forms & Blogs at the top of the Forum.

If only I would turn off the news and pray more, my life would improve.

We have stopped (or at least limited) the nonstop onslaught of listening to how bad the world is.......and it is, and have changed the channel to Christian music.  We aren't hiding our head in the sand, but it has made for a more peaceful mindset.
