Here is our new Daily Tally thread for 2026. Use it however you wish, to keep track of your progress! My goal for this year is 360 items gone from my home, not counting trash. That was my original goal for last year, and I crushed it! I have significantly less stuff in my home now, so I think 360 will be a challenge. Here we go! 2026: 0/360 2025: 604/500 items gone! 2024: 600/600 items gone! 2023: 1002+ items gone! Total: 2206+ items gone! | |

I am glad you are still here and staying accountable. One box of dog meds, that belonged to my pup who died last year. Expired long ago but I could not bring myself to throw them out. But I finally did. 228/360 | |

hi KIR! Good job on the dog stuff! Today I got out a large tote full of printed photos from 2004-2006. Inside the tote were 5 boxes full of photo envelopes, each full of prints. I got out all the enveloped and sorted, throwing out all the blurry one, pics that make me sad, random pics of zoo animals and forest pics, some duplicates, some bad angles. It was emotionally hard to look at hundreds of photos but I got faster and faster as I went along. It took me two hours, with a break in the middle. I wondered how to count this but after I cleaned the bin and lid, I re-packed the boxes with photos to keep, and had 2 of the larger empty boxes left, which I filled with the discard photos and took out to the trash. I am counting 2 items (2 boxes full are gone, when there were 5 boxes to start with). 142/360 | |

Seven items out today. 3 to trash - things that were my daughter's 149/360 | |

I had an extra box of coffee in the back of my car, and decided to give it to my son. One more item out. I am making good progress on my goal for the year. Sometimes I just want to take a shovel and forget about the counting and sorting and just be done with it. 150/360 | |

Plus 5 the last couple of weeks, one sponge painting set and two sets of salad servers out, net in two. Net out - 117 | |

I had a long stall on getting anything but trash out of my house, with the flu and then working super long hours. But I have today and tomorrow off and have started working on the Daily Tally again. So far: 7 items total. 157/360 | |
| Lila | Posted: 07 March 2026 - 05:45 PM |
Today I tackled a hard thing. The hardest room (small bedroom/storage room). I sorted about 1/3 of what's in there. I was able to get rid of 37 items. I think maybe 4 of them I thought were not worth donating so threw out, but the rest are in the donate box. I also made a small box of things I am not sure about, too many memories, and put them in a little tote to go into the garage until I am ready to make a decision (I did not count those, as they are still in my house). 194/360 | |
| Lila | Posted: 07 March 2026 - 06:54 PM |
12 more items donated. 206/360 | |
| Lila | Posted: 08 March 2026 - 04:18 PM |
Worked in that little storage bedroom again today. Eight more items donated, and I also started filling a large box with things to move to the garage, for now. At least I won't have to look at them anymore until I am ready. So the room is getting more empty and I will be able to use it soon. The closet is not sorted yet. It is a hard space. 214/360 | |

Lila, you are doing really well! I am cheering for you! | |
| Lila | Posted: 13 March 2026 - 06:07 PM |
Thanks, SubC! Slowly working on the tally. Two more items out so far. It's not much, but it's a start. 216/360 | |
| Lila | Posted: 14 March 2026 - 05:25 PM |
Three more items ready to donate from the small storage bedroom: 2 like new decorate pillows and one really nice curtain rod. 219/360 | |

I cleaned out the tupperware/storage container drawer. Eventually I want to switch to all glass storage, but for now with little kids here I am keeping some plastic. I count a container with a matching lid as 1 item, and I count a container with no lid as 1 item and a non matching randon lid as 1 item. 5 items out. 123/360 | |

hi SubC and any other Talliers! I worked in the small storage bedroom and the play room today. I threw out a lot of trash... papers, old playdough containers, stuff my grandkids left in there... I don't count trash. I also gathered a large box of things that belong to them, and moved them downstairs so they can put them away... also does not count as it is not my stuff. I sorted a 3 drawer bin of small toys, a couple boxes of stuff, some drawers. I got rid of: 35 items gone in all. 106/360 | |
