I’ve spent the last hour reading various de-cluttering sites and blogs, looking for tips and ideas. They mostly all say the same things anyway, and I know all this stuff, but sometimes I come across a particular thought or turn of phrase that resonates. But I think I’ve over-done it this time. Ten minutes of tip-reading helps to energise and motivate me, but after an hour of it the very word “clutter” is starting to look meaningless and I feel all stressed and anxious about how much I have to do.

Deeeeeeeeeep breath.

It’s not like I can do anything right now this minute. I have all weekend to make some progress. Right now I’m going to the park with what’s left of my lunch break, for a nice unwinding walk and some fresh air.
