Reducing our stuff one day at a time.
Go through a box of stuff you have had stored stored somewhere out of sight out of mind for a long time. Chances are, if you haven’t looked in it for an eon, then you don’t need to keep what is inside of it.
About Colleen MadsenColleen is the founder of 365 Less Things and lives in Newcastle, Australia.
My name is Colleen, I currently reside in Newcastle Australia. I am a forty something year old mother of two grown children and in my third decade of being wife to my darling hubby. I love traveling, art and craft, spending time with friends and family and volunteering my time to help others.
My parents taught me well to make, mend, mingle and manage so being frugal, friendly and fun loving would describe me fairly well. I can also be opinionated, outspoken and defensive at times but hey no one is perfect. I look forward to getting to know you as well so join our friendly community here at 365 Less Things where we, that is Cindy, the readers and myself, share opinions, advice and lots of friendly encouragement.

I got permission from my daughter to get rid of a pair of sneakers and a hoodie to small for her daughter. And my daughter has been going through her kids clothes and shoes and will probably give me other things to donate!
Very true! We have several boxes in our garage: some we inherited from an aunt who died 24 years ago and some belonging to our daughter which have been there for around 7 years. All need attention – just have to persuade my husband (his aunt) and my daughter that their time is up!!! Any tips?
Half bottle of pain pills I took when I had the shingles in July to the police station drop off . I have been meaning to take them to drop off for months, decided today was the day!
I just went through a small box of old things I had set aside during my decluttering to see if I wanted to use again. I took out 3 items to let go, but added a few more I took out of a cabinet.
They are small items that I might also use again. I labeled the box “HOLD”. Will keep for awhile to see if I need. Thankfully, I don’t have too much of that sort of thing anymore!!!
While getting the guest room for painting in the near future I did a bit of decluttering.
Small wicker table, lace table cloth, and two decorative items : tall bundle of twigs & bunch of cattails.
Will look for more things to declutter as I get other rooms ready for painting.
Will place stuff in garage until I go through another room before taking to goodwill.
