Decluttering is on my list too...I want to get rid of most of the stuff we haven't used in the 1 year we've been here. Lol, my version is pretty similar…if you give a woman a PF blog, then she will reveal her personal financial life.

If she reveals her personal financial life, she will want to get it in order.

If she starts getting it in order she will a) want spreadsheets and b) get readers.

If she shows readers her spreadsheets she will get worried that people judge her.

If she’s worried people will judge her, she’ll ignore her spreadsheets.

If she ignores her spreadsheets, she’ll do her best to stay within the budget but never be sure.

If she’s not sure, she’ll panic.

If she panics she’ll whip out the spreadsheet, if she whips out the spreadsheet she’ll write about it.

If she writes about it….etc.

At least that’s the cycle I’m currently going through. Decluttering is on my list too…I want to get rid of most of the stuff we haven’t used in the 1 year we’ve been here.

Those books are great fun. I love your edition and I love your motivation! I got a chance to declutter before I moved and it does lighten the load quite a bit!

I've been meaning to declutter and I know I need to declutter but I can't seem to get motivated. What was your motivation to declutter? (Maybe I'm just too darn lazy!)
