Time to spend time organizing my files, my computer folders, and more. I saved a few days at the end for non-tangible bags, like my computer, email, photos on iphoto/phone etc. Though, knowing me I will probably tackle an area anyway. Like my husbands office! yikes.Īlso, I worked with my planner/calendar and noticed that there were certain days already booked for Stagings/work or kids events and I simply took those days off. I purposely scheduled harder areas for the weekend. Also, I plan on doing this around bed time, so I don’t want to be up all night. I know they need more than one day, cause I don’t plan on spending all my free time in the space. You can see I have a couple rooms that took over a couple days. Okay, so here are a couple of my own tips that I thought I share 1. I filled mine out already! Teachers pet anyone? There is also a simple spreadsheet to keep you organized so you don’t get overwhelmed. To keep me motivated there is a Facebook group to help stay on track and focused. Years later she know has over 40,000 followers and I am now one of them! So, Ann Marie created this concept to give up things in your house that fill up a bag every day for 40 days. Fat Tuesday is about binging before denying yourself something for the 40 days leading up to Easter. I am pretty sure a lot of those people throwing beads, have no idea that it is the final celebration of the Christian Feast of the Epiphany. Or it’s like all those people celebrating Fat Tuesday / Mardi Gras. You probably won’t get invited back to that party! It’s like going to a party and bringing up Trump. This is not a religious post or plug, if you know me, you know I don’t push or talk religion to anyone. You are suppose to give up something for Lent. If you are wondering where the 40 comes from, it has to do with Lent. Then, I saw a pop up on my Facebook about the challenge. I wasn’t sure where to start or even how to begin. Well, this year I have taken on a couple “challenges” for myself. Or the I don’t use type “stuff.” Lastly, the stuff that I don’t know where it came from kind of stuff. Stuff tucked away and hidden in places that would need to be packed up. I try to keep the house clutter free, but, if you told me I had to sell the house tomorrow I would be up for 24 hours and still not ready. As a home stager I am proud to say I do practice what I preach, well, to an extent. I had followed her blog, White House Black Shutters, but never took on the challenge she created back in 2011. Over the summer I meet Ann Marie, the master mind behind 40 Bags in 40 days or the 40 Trash Bag Challenge.
