   I have a storage bin of clothes with tags, that have never fit. BC one day I will fit in them...right. Ten years later I probably should give it up, but it's just so damn hard. I'm afraid I'll be 90, finally skinny enough and looking like a fool walking around in low rise Guess leather pants. At least people will probably…

   You can do what works for you. I'm a bit of a hoarder, so if I tried to do it in one bag they would have to be sandwich baggies. I NEED all this crap I never use. I still have NIB wedding gifts from my first marriage...totally had to have that salad shooter and electric skillet. I like the one item a day gig. I'd have to…

   Is anyone doing this? I'm super intrigued. I know I should do it and I hope to be successful, but I was thinking I could use some knotty moral support. It's a "forty day period in the spring (coinciding with the 40 days of Lent) where you focus on cleaning one area per day. In this one area you challenge yourself to…

   Mine definitely won't be a Hefty bag full from each area, just 40 areas each de-cluttered. Maybe it's a sandwich baggy worth, maybe a dumpster bag.

   I'm in at about 50%. I can't commit to one bag each day since we'll be out of town quite a bit and it's just not very realistic for me in general. But we have so much junk in our basement it's embarrassing. And just...everywhere really. It'll probably average out to a bag a day in the end. I'm giving up alcohol for lent.…

   FWIW I'm not committing to 40 bags, but cleaning/organizing/declutter 40 areas of my house. I made a list and organized it by room so I can fill in my chart. i.e. kitchen table, kitchen pantry, basement pantry, under the bathroom sink, shoes, bedroom closet, jewelry and top of dresser, hall closet, etc. I know I won't come…

   I'm in. Even if it's a grocery bag a day, I need to declutter pretty seriously.

    I *think* the general idea is a grocery store bag worth.
