On day one, throw out one item.
Yes, just one!
On day two, toss two items.
On day three, three items.
On day fouryou get the idea.
Ready to get counting?
It might even be difficult to toss justoneoverly greasy moisturizer or unflattering brow pencil on your first day.
You could weed through your underwear drawer, tossing any items that are worn out or ill-fitting.
(Read on for ways to keep these out of the landfill.)
(Oh wait, is that basically all of them?)
That said, we obviously dont want to just toss everything into the trash.
Even clothing thats not suitable for donation neednt end up in the landfill.
Got worn-out towels, sheets, and blankets going out the door?
Purging tons of outdated textbooks?
These can be recycled along with your paper waste, as long as you remove any hard covers first.
Electronic clutter can be dropped off for recycling at local retailers likeBest Buy.
If that feels too hardcore, we suggest putting our gentler seven-day equation on repeat.
Youll be feather-dusting those blissfully sparse bookshelves in no time.
