This is an e-swap designed to delete at least 100 pieces of clutter from your life. You will have 1 partner. Before you start, take a picture of the area you plan to clean up or organize. Then, give away or throw away 10 things a day. Do this for 10 days. Good places to give things away are: Goodwill, Salvation Army, Humane Society Thrift Store, Craigslist, and Freecycle. Keep a record of the things you get rid of. Tell your partner what you did with the "stuff." When 10 days are up. Take another picture. Send your partner 1 email a day or an email at the beginning and a long one at the end. Attach your pictures to the email or send them a link to your blog or flickr photos. Have fun, and CLEAN YOUR ROOM!

Oh cool, I did one of these earlier in the year and it was such fun, and so satisfying to see all the decluttered stuff go to other homes.

I am so tempted to join this as I need to be organized, but I can't commit to throwing or giving things away...not yet anyways lol

I like the idea but need to clean and organize with less emphasis on getting rid of stuff. WOuld it be ok to get rid of less than 100 things?

It sounds a lot, but it's only 10 things a day.... I'm going to do my craft room, so I'll probably find 100 things a day LOL!

I think the whole 100 things in 10 days is to emphasise that it isn't too hard to find stuff you can live without, especially if you're a hoarder or put things you've replaced away 'just in case'....

...what about those of us who can easily get rid of MORE than 100 items...

Not naming any names. coughmecough

;)

And me... I suppose we can get rid of more. Just lump 10 magazines together and call it one item... I know I've got more especially if I do my craft room - more like 100 a day!

Sorry, had to drop this swap. Other things have come up that I need to concentrate on. Good luck with it.
