It's easy... all you have to do is think of one thing that you have too much of and could purge right now. Just one thing. Then purge and post here.

The catch is that you have to read the latest post on the list and also do that one (or the closest one that applies to you) before you post yours.

So, to start... I can purge phone books this morning. I have at least three, and I only look in one about once a year. Why, then, do I have three different versions? Off to the recycling bin....

Whoever purges phone books with me can add another post!

I am getting rid of all of the socks that I keep "hoping" to find a partner for! This is a great idea!

OK, can't do socks but I am going through library books. Two library systems and many books are all over the house and I am returning all but the ones we are actually reading    Hopefully, I get them to the correct library.

Ah, library books! They do take over....

How about markers, pencils, crayons, pens and highlighters?

I feel like we have 50 unsharpened pencils hanging around the house, a multitude of highlighters, so many extra crayons... I can pack up a ziplock bag to donate

Oh I want to play.. but I'm doing such a major decluttering and have piles in my living room that I'm rather doing all of those things at once. So.. I can't really play the game because I can't go and find one category. So just think how much easier you have it just to find one category to work on.

btw, I got rid of a full black bag of trash yesterday
