Oh, you ask, WHAT IS this???
…. Its what I found behind the computer and bed in Rickie’s room. So I made a list, and without telling her what it was, made her read the list. (Ricki: “What is the connection?!?? WHAT IS IT!??!”)
Than I informed her that she will be 27 days without computer.

Later, I found something NEWLY thrown on the floor of her room, and added another day……..

As I was reading the list, I thought it might have been all in her backpack!

Minus the food, if someone checked behind and under my bed, I'm wondering how different it would be...

It sounds like the consequence is perfect to motivate her.

I thought so, that the consequence was perfect, but the fact that I AGAIN found something later gave me pause...
I guess it hadn't registered YET. It will.....

I like your discipline approaches. They will be useful when I have children in the future. :)
