August Declutter Challenge – Summary Week 2 (Desk Area)

This week I focused on cleaning up my desk area. I am not done, but have made good progress.

Day 8: I threw away: 2 dead calculators, 2 dead AA batteries, 5 Q tips, handful of rubber bands, and 1 plastic necklace.

Day 9: I threw away: 2 expired coupons for a free See’s Awesome Walnut Square Bar and articles I had torn out of magazines. Unfortunately because I was not organized I missed out on using these coupons. This is not the first time I’ve missed out on something because of my disorganization. 

Day 10: Recycled an HP Printer.

Day 11: I recycled: 3 phone books and a card.   I threw away: List of movies I want to see, envelopes and mail I read.  I returned: library books and a rented video.

Day 12: Found 2 used inkjet cartridges and pile of canceled stamps. I gave them to my church for 2 different fundraisers.

Day 13: Sorted and tidied the massive pile of notepads, sticky pads and  scratch pads. Sent the “E” sticky note pad to my favorite “E” person.  

Day 14: Cleaned out containers that held a wide assortment of stuff on my desk. I threw away: 2 mini correction pens, 4 ink tops, 1 rubber band, 1 pen, 1 gnarly-broken pencil and 1 cough drop.
