Weekly Tittle

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.

Out with the Old

This week’s assignment is to release something from your life that you don’t want to carry with you into the new year.

  • Reflect on something that you’d like to experience less of in 2026. This may be a physical object, an attitude, an idea, a story, a relationship, or anything else in your life that you can name. (We’ll call your selection “the Object” for purposes of the remaining steps of this tittle.)
  • Thank the Object for the role it has played in your life, for better or for worse. What did you love, hate, enjoy, dread, embrace, reject, or learn from the Object?
  • Set the Object free by any appropriate method. Give it to someone who’ll enjoy it. Donate it to a worthy charitable organization. Discard it in the trash or recycling bin. If it’s an intangible thing, write it down on a slip of paper, then tear the paper to pieces, throw it in the trash, toss it into a fire, or destroy it by any other dramatic but safe method of your choosing.
