The A Thing A Day challenge was started at Unclutter.com to encourage people to unclutter their homes and lives. I still live with my mother so I basically only have one room of belongings, but its a small room and over crowded. I don't think I have a years worth of things to get rid of, so I'm going to start off with 3 months. Thats 92 days and possibly more than 92 things (if I double up on some days).
The challenge is about getting rid of one object a day, for... a month ? A year ? It´s up to you how long you want your challenge to last.
Whether you give away, trash or donate the object is immaterial, but it must be gone from your life and space. Putting it into storage doesn´t count; though you are allowed to, say, collect the things in a box to donate them at the end of the month.
Oh, and you´re also allowed to cheat and fill your quota ahead of time, like throwing out 7 things on Monday, making that a week´s worth of ATAD.
Today I'm counting a textbook from last semester I sold last week on half.com. I got $45 for it. I should have done it sooner but I kept putting it off. This at least will help pay for a fall semester book.
