Gotta think of some little declutter errand to add to my long list of running around today. Forward momentum. Books to the Half Price store will work. There is a shopping bag full in the living room.

My little window love seat is again stacked up with stuff. But it is different stuff, and that seems destined to be the staging area for this decluttering project. The end will be here when that lovely little futon remains clear.

I may have already mentioned it above, but I have a question for the U.S. declutterers: How many televisions do you have in your home? Big, little, emergency type, etc.? When the new HD airwaves come about, it won't make them completely obsolete because the low-power channels will still work (I think the UHF stations can stay where they are for a while). What are your plans for all of those televisions? Even with the coupon, there will still be an expense of about $20 per television, for two per home. After that you have to pay upwards of $60 per converter box for televisions, and a lot of them probably aren't worth the trouble or expense. What will you do with all of those devices? Are they units with working radios you will continue to use? Will you phase out the number in your house? Will you replace them?

I plan to eliminate several and not replace them. I'll use my couple of coupons, and though I'm switching off my satellite for a while, it should be back before the HD switch. The televisions getting the devices are little ones like in the kitchen that aren't on cable. I could end up taking four televisions to the recycle center.

What will you do?
