New Year's Resolution - 100 Day Challenge - Declutter

I have been reading about 100 Day Challenges online and was inspired by the article on Refinery29
10 Things You Should Throw Away Before 2018 to make mine decluttering my home.

The article by many useful tips not just for throwing something into the trash, but recycling or passing it on to someone who place that will need or want it.

As Marv got out of the hospital today I am not going to have time to start it today and as life may get in the way, may not be able to devote time to it or post about it every day but as the challenge is for 100 days.

To begin going to use some of the boxes from Christmas for:

• Books and magazines for donations to Little Free Libraries
• Donation (thrift stores and will have to check into donations for shelters and Animal shelters)
• Giveaway - either to a friend or through Social Media

Other items will be:

• Recycling - Our community has bins we can put paper, cardboard, plastics and glass for recycling that is picked up every 2 weeks.

Last resort:

• Actual trash

Do you have any New Year's Resolutions or are starting any 100 Day Challenges?  If so, please feel free to post about it on the comments or leave a link and I will check it out.

Happy New Year!
