Cleaning Clutter

Saturday, September 25, 2010

Often I lay in bed and worry that I really need to have a huge garage sale. If my house didn't have so many hiding places, I could go on that show Hoarders. I can't get up the willpower to go through all these years of memories but don't want my kids to have to deal with all this stuff later... I hope the energy comes soon to purge.

    I am not a hoarder but love that show. I think it makes us realize that maybe we do need to part with some stuff. I try to take a bag out ever once in awhile. My mom recently moved to a nursing home and just having to clean out her house and go through stuff (not hoarder) makes you think twice about some of the stuff we save. Good blog!

    Today I was motivated to start decluttering. Seems like once you start -- the jobs keeps building and you end up with more messes than you started with! But I did make progress today. I donated 2 grocery bags full of paperback books to the local library for their book sale next week, took a stack of file folders, pens, tablets, etc. to my workplace, and filled our recycling dumpster. I cleaned out all the drawers in an old metal office desk taking up space in a back bedroom (well, it's actually become the junk room), and got the desk ready to give away to whomever we can find to come move it out. A long ways to go, but making progress.....

    Try setting a timer and just decluttering for 30 minutes a day 3x a week. You'll love the results and get motivated to do more.

    Every so often I even go to the extreme of going to a chest of drawers or closet or something. It just seems like so much trouble and the decisions???!!!! Of course, not deciding IS deciding not too. Wish I could be like NUTRON3 amd Just Do It. I know I would be happier.

    I hear you. This spring we put a large dent in our 'stuff' ... there is still more work to do though, and somehow I can't bring myself to get started. I've just received the latest EFT newsletter though, and they talk about using EFT to help you get organized - I plan to try the techniques, since EFT has helped me with so many other things!
If you're interested, check out www.eftuniverse.com - basic instructions are in the manual and the manual is free!

    I'm with you and I am going to spend two hours at a time to try to make a dent. I'd like to get to a point where a guest could actually stay in the guest room! Good luck.

Sunday - fresh new week

Sunday, September 19, 2010

So this is Sunday and there are 12 more days left of the month. I need to stick to this maintenance plan as I have not been leading such an unhealthy lifestyle this week and did not weigh in Saturday on my scheduled day as I knew it would be bad! Here's to a great and successful rest of the month everyone! emoticon
