52B in 52W: Fifty-Two Bags in Fifty-Two Weeks

I am taking on a decluttering challenge this year. I was inspired by 40 Bags in 40 Days. I knew that with my work schedule and my general tendency towards laziness that 40 bags in 40 days is much too intense for me. I thought about it and I think I can manage a bag or an area per week. Once I fill up a bag it must go directly to my trunk for donation or directly to the trash. I tried to list the areas in a logical fashion but I will not be doing them in order. I will just cross them off as I go.
I left a couple of weeks at the bottom for areas I haven't though about as well as a few weeks to donate junk.
I hope my list inspires you to start you own.

Wish me luck :-)
