It’s been like 3 months at least. Which is bonkers now that I think about it. My enclosed porch was embarrassingly full. I made a good dent, but there will be another trip next Saturday.

Don't you dare take this as validation of half a complete task being considered a completed task.

That's awesome work. Think of the space you will have when you do more. Think of the positive messages when you get to say you cleared it all.
Great work, keep it up!

    Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. My wife says similar things after I finished tasks like this. "Doesn't if feel good to know that this task is done?" No, there is no positive feeling, not in that way. I'm happy it's over and that I wont get reminded to do it for the next weeks but I know that this is not what she means.

    Doing this needs a lot of hard mental work, so well done op!

    Decluttering is such a huge weight lifted. I feel like it can almost have a snowball effect as well. Speaking as someone who visited their local transferred station a few weeks ago. Well done and keep it up!

    I'm really proud of you! 🤗

    I know how hard this can be. So take the win and keep at it. You got this.

    That's great! I finally cleaned up a lot of junk in the garage to make a usable work space. But it took me almost 3 years to get there!
