Reducing our stuff one day at a time.
Declutter something that is collecting dust.
Eliminating items that required dusting was a big factor behind what got me reducing my belongings in the first place. Doing that immediately reduced the time it took to get through my weekly house cleaning task.
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.

We live in “dust haven.” I finally decided that I will just dust when I feel like it because I can dust at 10 AM and need to do it again at 4 PM. ONce a week is enough for me–if I think of it. Grin.
Update on garage sale, I sold 27 items (out of 31) my kids/grandkids sold hundreds of items. Everything left was loaded and delivered to a donation site. Over all success!
My daughter said next time i should come over and help them declutter so they would have more for the sale.
Wow, Calla! How great that your daughter wants you to come help her the next time. Pass it down to her and maybe she will pass it down to her kids. Don’t you just love it.?!
I do!
Have been careful not to say anything, just lead by example. It has taken many years for it to happen, almost had given up hope. Lol
