496 items in January challenge

6 replies

Has anyone seen this on TikTok? It's a de-cluttering challenge. Meant to be
1st Jan: 1 thing
2nd Jan: 2 things
20th Jan: 20 things... you get the gist

I'm tempted, I've been regularly de-cluttering since lockdown 1 but still have lots of things that we don't use

I wouldn't be able to commit to doing it in order but I'm thinking about aiming for the 496 (maybe ticking off some of the higher dates on weekends rather than in order...)

I'll need a spreadsheet/counter 😆

Anyone else doing this?

I could probably have a go but would need to do it backwards, 31 things on the first down to one thing on the last day.

Or as you say just keep an overall tally.

And what counts? Recycling? The Christmas tree?

It's a bit ridiculous. I'm decluttering but if I had to count things it would take me even longer!

Yes, there's a thread already. Hang on

@Bemyclementine thank you - didn't realise there was already a thread. Wonder if I can ask for a deletion 🤔

I must live particularly acscetically, because i genuinely don't have over 400 things I could "declutter" (I also hate that word. It reminds me of Mrs Clutterbuck from the Shirley Hughes books)
