Well, welcome, and we hope you'll join us! Here in this thread we encourage each other to give 15 minutes a day (or the equivalent on other schedules) to the wholesome art of decluttering!
Nobody ever said, “When I grow up I want my home to look like a garage. I want clutter all over the place, the more the merrier.”
I kept promising myself I would fix up my home, clear away my clutter, buy new things. I started a decorating fund and was successful in saving my money, but I still lived in dismal chaos. My heart sank when I shopped for furniture and home accessories. I didn’t buy anything because I knew that even the most beautiful vase in the world would look shabby amidst my mess. I got rid of my clutter, I got organized, and I finally created the home of my dreams.
Now, the first thing I do every morning is take a good look at my home. I enjoy the spaciousness, the furnishings, the decorations, the colors, and most important of all, the visual reminders that I kept my promise to myself. - writer Rebecca Sue Rivers
We're very close to the end of 2010, so next month's thread will be about assessing how far we've come and planning 2011's clutter attack. So be thinking about how you want to end the Dynamic Decluttering Year of 2010!
Focus Cleaners will be on "finish-up week" next week Dec 6 through 11, so if there is an area that you'd like to "finish up" then, why not clear it of clutter THIS WEEK in order to join them efficiently? 
(so clever of you)
