Blimey, two nights off MN due to some intensive kondoing and you're all already on the next thread!
We are also not following the strict order. I did my clothes first to get into the swing of it but dh refuses as he had a bit of a clean out not too long ago and got rid of the worst offenders. I've also almost finished the bathroom but we started on the books together last week and got rid of 7 boxes full, plus a box of komono. The last two days have been spent emptying the spare room of boxes still packed from our move 9 months ago! Strictly speaking I suppose we should just chuck it all but there are some things I need that are in there somewhere.
Unfortunately the first couple of boxes out were komono, which I had no problem with but dh really struggled with (magnetic game leaving present from his friends at uni that he hasn't opened or played with one in the 20 years we've been together? "But it was a gift!") so we put them aside and got cracking on the boxes of books. Oh god, so many! After two nights relentless sorting we have only half emptied the room, have another 7 boxes of books, 3 boxes of komono (my stuff), 5 boxes of paper recycling and 2 bin bags. We were like this -> 
when we'd finished last night, and dh also 
but we've so got half the room to empty, another 4 bookshelves to Kondo and I've just realised this morning that he's started putting boxes of things "we don't need to Kondo" in the study. I've already chucked 3 board games and 2 jigsaws from that pile but I can't get to it all properly. Tbf we do just need to clear the room so we can get decorating but it's annoying to keep moving stuff around that we have no intention of keeping.
I made huge inroads into paperwork last night too. I chucked nearly all of my uni notes and just kept a few things that particularly pleased me, like my engineering drawing tutorials, for sentimental reasons. Looking through my notes I was pretty 
that I understand almost nothing of it any more, goodness knows how I got my degree! But I've just been headhunted into a great position, lots more money and after having a bit of a wobble this week I spoke to my new boss yesterday and was just "there", in the groove/mojo/whatever you call it so I know I'm doing the right thing and I'm perfect for the position. I think it made it easier to let the uni stuff go as I know I don't need to prove myself now (although hr do want to see my degree certificate 
)
One thing I did over the holidays was sort out dc craft and drawing things so they can help themselves. Dc1 is currently helping me Kondo some of the spare paper from last night's efforts by drawing tractors on it. Can go into the recycling when he's done 
One thing that is annoying is that our recycling is picked up on a Thursday so we've gone two weeks without a pickup over the holidays 
The bin is tiny and this week's pick up has only made a tiny dent in the recycling to go out. We can take paper to the tip but they don't do plastics recycling annoyingly. I did put some outside in bin bags but the aggressive tom cat that lives around here and terrorizes or cats sprayed them so that option's out now
Well, the goal is to finish emptying the spare room this weekend. Can't wait!
