Subject: RE: BS: June'10 Declutter & Exercise Accountability
Morgan and I took a back-end full of stuff to Goodwill this morning. I also took some clothes back. Took two shirts and a cardigan; came home with two shirts for me, a shirt and shorts for him, so that was a wash as far as de-cluttering goes, except for the stuff which was in the car.

Yesterday, I was pretty assertive about him de-cluttering an art-box which was so stuffed he couldn't close it and a large bottom drawer in a plastic roller cart which he also had stuffed. He did a good job and I think learned a good lesson in what's really important to keep and what to let go. He also helped de-clutter the office by figuring out the roller cart fits under the desk when it is not in use, in the part where my legs would be, it's a large space, fairly deep. And, his art box fits under the drawers of the desk, between the legs.

I also bit the bullet and listed some books I am done with on paperbackswap.com. I hadn't done that in a long time. An hour later, I had requests for two of them, so I will get them ready and mail them out, tomorrow. I have a giveaway box of books piling up, also.

Thanks for the suggestion, SRS. Morgan seems to have no problem in telling me what he thinks looks cluttered and what I could do with it!:-) (I think he hears a lot about it at home as their house is too small for all of the stuff they have plus four dogs, two ferrets and one cat.)
