Unpacked boxes noooo! Day 3 is a good start though, I reckon making it to day 10 is a big achievement — so maybe aim for that next time! I so need to do this! This is SUCH a good idea! I always end up with so much unnecessary crap.

Karen Running on Tea recently posted.. Good luck with the challenge — let me know how you get on! Loved this post. I think of myself as a chucker, but since I am planning a move to New Zealand too, never realised how much there is in my house where I lived for 10 years. I could for sure have joined your challenge, and I am still chucking. I will be inNZ for a few months over the winter summer there, yeah and then have to come back for the last chuck and sell my house and decide what is going with me.

Oh lordy, the car, Buddhas, carpets. After 10 years I imagine you will have a LOT to ship, good luck with the chucking!!

I have always been a hoarder but I have found living in a 1 bed apartment after having a three bedroom house I have become a lot more ruthless.

I have heard another tip — turn all your coathangers around the wrong way, and then when you wear an item, put it back on the hanger the correct way around. At the end of the month, all the hangers that are still around the wrong way…well, you know you can get rid of those items!

I totally agree with you that life does feel more stressful when the place you live is cluttered! I really like the idea of this. Somehow I am a tidy freak and a hoarder, I just hide it well, but I have boxes of ribbon scraps, dozens of carrier bags and wayy too many cook books! Stephanie A Magpie in the Sky recently posted.. I received so many comments and inspiring messages from people all over the world to keep going and not give up.

The Mins Game is a month-long journey, not a quick sprint done all at once. It takes time and commitment: I probably spent an average of an hour per day finding items, displaying the items in an appealing way, taking pictures of the items, editing the picture, writing a description of the items in the picture, and then actually getting rid of the items by selling, donating, recycling, or throwing them out. Moreover, I had to make sure that I took pictures during the daytime so that I had good lighting.

If I was going to be out all day and miss the sunlight, then I had to display things nicely before leaving for the day and then have my husband take pictures for me later on thanks babe! As stated previously, the Mins Game is a great introduction to purging, but if you have a large quantity of possessions, then you might consider hiring a professional or using the method that Marie Kondo describes in her 1 New York Times bestselling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.

Find someone to keep you accountable: It was great to have my husband or a friend text me reminding me to post my Mins Game picture for the day, especially on those days where it was getting late and I had other things on my mind than posting a picture to Instagram.

Challenge yourself: While playing the Mins Game, I challenged myself in two ways. First, I tried to group like items as one item. For example, on day 8 I got rid of 12 Magic Bullet accessories.

Instead of counting each accessory as an item, I counted them all as one because they were bought together. Each day I would have a theme of clothing, books, school supplies, hair products, jewelry, etc.
