As I’ve said many times on here, I’m not someone that sets New Years resolutions. You can make improvements to your routine any day of the year…you don’t need to wait until 1 January to put these plans into action! One thing that has caught my eye has been #project3000.
Originally set up by Claire Birnie of The Tidy Life Project, the idea is that you declutter your home of 3000 items. This sounds a little scary but accordingly to research by decluttering experts, the average home has some 300,000 individual items. How insane is that!!!

I started 2018 by reading ” target=”_blank”>The Year of Less by Cait Flanders which looks at having less of everything. Less spending, less eating and drinking in excess, less consumption of ‘stuff’. This lead to a different mindset and really thinking about my spending habits. I’ve never been a huge shopaholic but I don’t tend to make such impulsive decisions on clothes now.
Our home is not massively over cluttered and I’m wondering if the target of 3000 is a little excessive for a family of 2. That means that on average I should be getting rid of 250 items a month!! Typically in November 2018 we spent a couple of weekends clearing out our office. I think we easily ditched over 150+ items. If only I’d found out about this challenge before then – I would have delayed the clear out!
I’ll be doing a monthly blog post update on how we’re progressing and to make myself a bit more accountable.
Are you a hoarder or a minimalist?!?!
This sounds interesting and terrifying all at once! I love a good cull but I couldn’t do 250 monthly xx
