Anyone ready to try again this year? I only made about half of it last year. https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/september-sweep-decluttering-program-2019-signup-36636666?utm_source=at_atseptembersweep2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=09072019&recip_id=2097604
I’ll take a look later! I did some last year too. This year I feel the need to do a little “sweep” outside before I sweep inside! I need this to be an October sweep!
I went ahead and signed up again. Even reading the emails each day keeps “sweeping” in my head.
I signed up, too. I like to think that my house is not very cluttered and that the clutter that is there is not mine, it is my husband’s or son’s. I will try this to see if I am right or if I am in a state of denial.
Wow, this sounds great. I’m already in the middle of cleaning and purging my entire house, and it’s making me feel more in control of my life. In a world that seems increasingly out of control, that’s extremely important.
Yep, signed up again. I like the reminders, even if I don’t need to work on a specific item. It gets me in the right mindset to work on something.
I’m giving it a shot - thanks for sharing!
I signed up too, thanks for posting! We’re getting ready for a major renovation so the more clutter I can eliminate the better.
I signed up as well, but I have a very busy September. October would be better for me too. However, I will give it a go.
I always try and keep in mind with these things that it’s not a win only if you do all the things. If you do a few of the things, that’s a win. 
Can someone give me a sample “tip” maybe from last year? Would just like to get an idea of what kind of tips she gives and if they’re would be helpful for me.
Here’s last year’s thread:

But an example of a daily task was:
“Today set up a sell pile - a place in a room where you can develop a habit to drop things to sell” - so the task was just to designate a place.
I haven’t signed up – I still may – but this weekend I twice discussed possible strategies for tackling the storage room (oh, all right roomS) and came THIS close to actually tossing a box.
Baby steps.
OK, today is setting up the 3 boxes somewhere out of the way. Sell, Donate, Maybe. Where are you putting yours?? I think mine will go in the spare bedroom. If I put them in the basement that will be the last of them! I actually will only do 2. I don’t sell anything. I donate or trash.
I don’t sell stuff either - donate or maybe. Mine are in the laundry room next to the recycling boxes.
Sounds like it might be a replay of last year. Which is fine, since I didn’t complete many last year.
I’ve had a donate pile going for a few months. Clearly I need this challenge!
I have a little to the side “nook” in my bedroom - that’s where I put my boxes. Actually baskets. Looks a little better than a cardboard box!
I have a corner in my closet where I throw clothes I put on and decide I no longer like for whatever reason. I put a large garbage bag in my mud room for anything on the first floor that I need to send on it’s way. I only use one bag- donate and maybe are the same for me. Once I have a bagful, I give it a look through and rescue anything I’ve changed my mind on. Usually nothing but occasionally one item or so.
I’m using my living room. It’s the only room that isn’t in need of decluttering, which is why I need to do this!
