Make them up yourself! The rules are not nearly as important as consistently working towards a goal. Figure out for yourself what the rules should be that will help you stay motivated towards the goal.
That being said, here are the rules my wife and I set out for ourselves to follow. Feel free to steal from, modify or use as a guide for your own Projectrama!
- At least 1 Item per day, everyday, must be gotten rid of in 2015
- You can stockpile items (as long as the piles are neat!), but only 1 per day count (you can't get rid of 30 books one day and be set of a month)
- You can start late, but must run into 2016 to "make up" (Start on Jan 3rd 2015 and end on Jan 3th 2016)
- For things being trashed, recycled or donated, it counts the day you put the item in the trash can, recycle bin donation pile.
- For things given to others or sold, it counts on the day the item leaves the house
- You cannot get rid of an item by giving it to someone else in the house (eg: I can't give an item to my infant son. The point is to declutter, not kick the can)
- The item must have been in the residence longer than 3 months to count
