The #MinsGame
I’m doing OK with my purchasing experiment. I’ve stopped at Dunkin Donuts a few times, but tea is expendable. 🙂 Inspired by my ongoing success and too much time spent reading blogs, I’ve decided to take on the Minimalism Game (#MinsGame) for March. One item on the first day, two items on the second; onward […]

Turning goals into reality
For years I have had a soft goal of climbing Mount Washington. I have summited numerous times, but always by motorized conveyance. I have driven it more times than I can count and ridden up the tracks propelled by both steam and BioDiesel. It is a wondrous place. On foot I’ve climbed as high as […]

Meta
Today I went meta: I donated away my “how to declutter” book. I also disposed of a trunk full of random things, an old stereo I don’t use, and a few more DVDs. Then I emptied the hall closet completely, disposed of most of its contents, and properly stowed the vacuum cleaners for the first […]

The Experiment
As usual, the decluttering spree went on for a while and then . . . We are still aware of the process, and more things are leaving the house than in the past. The KonMari method worked well for clothing, and it is great in the attic. Where it has fallen apart is in the […]

CLM
If you have followed NfMH for any length of time, you have seen many attempts at projects and self improvement. Many of them have failed in the end. I always mean well. I think this one may have some traction. In an effort to prevent ‘wasted’ days, I am now living with the following three […]
