Hit 50 items out the door this month and I'm honestly shocked

I set a goal to get rid of 20 things from my spare room and somehow ended up counting 50. That old treadmill from 2017 finally went to a guy on Facebook marketplace, and my neighbor took that stack of paint cans from the garage. I still have a pile of holiday decorations to sort through, but 50 items felt like a real turning point. Has anyone else hit a number that just made you stop and go wow?

50 items is a solid number, no doubt about it. But which category surprised you the most that you were holding onto? Like was it mostly clothes, random junk, or stuff that had sentimental value you didn't realize you were done with?

My friend Emily found 14 almost-identical black t-shirts she'd been "saving for good" for like 3 years. She thought she was so minimal until she pulled those out.

The real kicker is she still probably won't get rid of any of them because they're "still good" and now she knows exactly how many she has.
