Well, that was an eye opening Projectrama!
I've tossed/given/sold 365 things over the course of the year (mostly one a day) and haven't missed a thing.
Granted, some things were kinda lame, and I don't think anyone I knew that was doing it kept up the whole time. But still, the important thing was to delve into the nooks and crannies of our home and get rid of things we didn't need that were just hanging round.
Thanks to my lovely wife for the great idea, and for poking me when I got WAY behind to get on the ball. Everyone we have mentioned this project to has thought it was a great idea proving that we all know we have too much cruft in our lives. Tina's great idea has greatly lessened that level junk in our house and spawned several other folks into action.
I will encourage you to try this if you haven't. This coming year, everyday find something to get rid of. It'll be tough, but I doubt at the end of it you will truly miss anything. You will also get a few bonuses: less stuff to keep clean and organized, fewer instances of running across "That Item" that you are not sure what to do with but don't really feel right about getting rid of (Pro Tip: If you no longer have it, you will not have that feeling any longer!)
If you don't want to tackle this, try some other goal for the year. Not the standard NYE resolutions (though most of could stand a little more exercise and little less calories), pick something that is challenging that you will feel GOOD about tackling a little at the time over the next 366 days.
Good luck, and have fun!
