I just found this great group on Facebook called
Declutter Challenge 2022 - Just Get It Done Quilts .
It has been going on for six days, but can be easily caught up.
DONE Day 1 - Garbage
Because of the holiday, this was a problem for me that I took care of on 1 January 2022.
She includes the following in the garbage area.
Boxes
The Obvious - anything you don't need.
Containers, even the pretty ones.
Papers
If you think you will need it, then take a photo or scan it.
Dig Out Your Sewing Machine
I consider this one done for me.
DONE Day 2 - Squatters
This is where you take everything out that doesn't belong in your studio.
I actually did this with all the Christmas decorations and wrapping paper, etc.
They suggest doing this 30 minutes at a time.
I count this one done for me.
Take a moment to clean your sewing machine.
Day 3 - Magazines
I have containers with magazines in them that I've not looked at in years.
I need to evaluate if I want to keep them and then what to do with them.
Day 4 - Book Collection
Books are always an issue with me.
I did go through them a few years ago and culled them down to below 50%.
I think it is time to try again and see what I can do to reduce the amount I have.
They all fit where I have allocated for them, but it can't hurt to look them over again.
Day 5 - Patterns
This is a difficult one.
I know I have some binders with lots of patterns in them.
I will go through those and toss what I don't need anymore.
I am not out of space for these, but why get there if I can declutter some now?
Day 6 - Archives
This day you need to look at those memories and see if they still need a place in your studio.
I did this with those pens you buy with the place's photograph on it.
They are now no longer in my space.
I'm sure there are more things.
I can think of the fabric postcards.
I will need to evaluate that and decide what to do with them.
Day 7 - Catch-Up Day
