Every day in May, Money Saving Mom is challenging her readers to try to find at least seven things to get rid of – sell, donate, or toss. I’ve already done a lot of clutter busting on my own this year, but there is always more that can be done. At 7 items a day, that means I need to get rid of 217 items by the end of the month.
I may have cheated a little for this update because this clutter doesn’t come from my house, it comes from my work desk. But as I spend more time each day at the office than at home I thought this little tweak in the procedure would be allowed.
I spent about 15 minutes and gathered up the items below to be tossed out.

2 empty Pepsi cans (recycled)
2 empty Naked juice bottles (recycled)
8 pieces of plastic silverware (tossed)
2 broken pens (tossed)
1 pencil (given to co-worker)
1 dirty lanyard (tossed)
1 program from a musical (tossed)
2 groups of used post-it notes (reused to the point of having no stick left – tossed)
That’s a grand total of 19 items, bringing the 17 day total up to 193 items! You can see days 1-6, 7-10, and 11-15 by clicking on the links.
How is your clutter busting going? Feel free to follow me on Twitter or “like” me on Facebook to follow along with my progress.
