Day 10 | September 10. Have you thought of your garage? Paint cans from a color that's not on your walls anymore, tools that don't work, pots nothing has grown in for years. That is your twenty nine. If garage is not calling you today, shed or outdoor storage works too. Drop it in the comments when you are done.

Tip: Many hardware stores and hazardous waste sites accept old paint and chemicals so they don't end up in regular trash. Walking away for today is not quitting. It is how this gets done. What is sitting in your garage that you keep meaning to deal with?

Day 9 | September 9. Have you thought of your spice rack? The spice older than your last address, the duplicate cinnamon, the jar you bought for one recipe and never opened again. That is your six. If the spice rack is not calling you today, the junk drawer next to it works too. Drop it in the comments when you are done.

Tip: Most ground spices lose their strength after about a year, even when they're technically still safe to use. What is your rule for tossing old spices?

Day 8 | September 8. Have you thought of the back of your clothing closet? Clothes still wearing the tags, shoes you forgot were even back there, the outfit from an event that happened years ago.

That is your 22. If the closet is not calling you today, the dresser works too. Drop it in the comments when you are done.

Tip: If you haven't worn it in over a year, it usually isn't waiting for the right occasion, it's just waiting. What is your cutoff?

Day 7 | September 7. Happy Labor Day to those who have the day off. Have you thought of your linen closet? The mismatched pillowcases, the towel so thin you can see through it, the sheet set you can't remember which bed it fits. That is your fifteen. If linen closet is not calling you today, the hall closet works too. Drop it in the comments when you are done.

Tip: I find that animal shelters will always take worn linens and towels. What is your rule for mismatched linens?

I have a new clutter problem.

30+ empty storage containers, sitting in my garage right now.
Here's the ridiculous part. I bought them to help me declutter. Big ones. Some so big that once they're full, I can't even pick them up.

At the time it made perfect sense. Too much stuff, so obviously I needed better places to put the stuff.

Except that's organizing. It isn't decluttering.

Once I actually started deciding what could leave, I didn't need nearly as many containers. The stuff is gone, and now I'm left with a pile of empty containers taking up space in my garage.

I decluttered my way into a whole new category of clutter.

Declutter first. Organize what's left. Tell me I'm not the only one.

We are decluttering this month as a challenge. Comment SEPTEMBER if you'd like to join in
..or would like to follow along to see more of my decluttering mistakes.

The Shiny Penny Box. Here is how it works.

Step 1: Find something you are not ready to decide about. Inherited items, an expensive purchase you feel guilty releasing, photos, letters, anything that makes you freeze instead of decide.

Step 2: Put it in a box. Any box you can close.

Step 3: Write today's date on the outside.

Step 4: Set it aside. Go live your life.

Step 5: After 30 days, open it.

If it is still calling to you, keep it with intention. You earned that.

If you open it and struggle to remember what is in it, you have your answer.

The Shiny Penny Box is not avoidance. It is letting time make the decision for you, which is often the wisest decision of all.

What would you put in yours right now? Tell me in the comments.

Day 6 | September 6. Have you thought of your eClutter? The emails you never open, the duplicate photos taking up space, the apps you downloaded once and forgot. That is your twenty eight. If eClutter is not calling you today, your desktop or download folder works too. Drop it in the comments when you are done.

Tip: A lot of you have mentioned clearing a hundred emails or more in one sitting. It counts just as much as a hundred items in a room. What is your record?

Day 5 | September 5. Just 3 today. Have you thought of your nightstand drawer? Three things that do not belong there. Done. Drop it in the comments when you are done.

Tip: Three individual items, three piles, or three bags, you decide how to count it. This is your challenge and you make it work for your home. What did you find? Drop it in the comments.

Eldest daughter.

Are you one of the 70%?

Research shows that 60-75% percent of all family caregivers are women. And the oldest daughter is statistically 70% more likely to become the primary caregiver for aging parents than any of her siblings.

It is not a coincidence that so many of you are here.

Oldest daughters are often the ones who show up. The ones who handle the hard conversations, manage the transitions, and end up holding everyone else's things long after everyone else has moved on.

If that is you, this page was built for you.

Drop a yes in the comments if this is you. I want to know how many of us are here.
