One more time from the top!  — 1 month ago

Have come full circle as usual. Really need to have another go at this today. Theoretically there should be far less to keep me from doing this in future. Not that I’m putting it off into “the future” though.

I want to resume this today, when I’m back from town. Send me positive vibes my friends – please!

Road to nowhere?  — 2 months ago

How annoying! Considering this is top of my list I don’t seem to be doing a lot of it. :-(

Well, I have two or more insurmountable rooms and wonder if I should flip a coin as to what to start first!?

I’m imagining I’m moving house (well, I am!) or having very important guests :-D

Better make a start somehow…

Abandon all hope all ye who enter my house!  — 2 months ago

Oh my god!

I won’t say it’s worse than ever – but it certainly looks that way! Lots of clutter has spread out – to cover ever inch of floor in almost every room. The worst part is I feel stiff and tired – not nearly agile enough or persistent enough to tackle something like this!!!
Give me strength! :-D
I’m going out for coffee and panini in the vague hope of feeling more positive when I get back. :-(

Gonna need a bigger boat!  — 3 months ago

Hmmmmmm. Well, I have other HUGE pressures building up that compete with the eons it takes to do this. Have to get my nightclass students through their coureswork and exams, start my new day job, finish fitting the kitchen, finish this year’s final university assignmnet and press on with my counselling training (with assignments!). That’s before I do any creative stuff! :-(

But if I stop decluttering now, I’m back where I started, and obviously ignoring it is what allows it to avalanche. I spent most of yesterday getting through a huge pile of documents on top of a beanbag. Guess what, under the beanbag there are as many documents again!!! Arrrgghhhh!!!

I suppose this means the time I am spending is essential, because it is very time consuming and the house won’t declutter itself. Sadly!

Onward and upward!  — 3 months ago

Have done well getting through a huge pile of recycling and shredding. This should make room to store a pile of things I’m aiming to sell! Phew! Back to my university assignment now.

Usual Cry for Help!  — 3 months ago

Given myself the day to progress on this – but have put it off for an hour or two already!

It’s now almost 11am and I want to motor through to 5pm almost non-stop decluttering. Any tips?!

Need some get-up-and-go music and my black sacks for a start :-D

Yet another attempt!  — 3 months ago

Yet another attempt!
First day I’ve been able to make free for this, so here goes!

Feeling Weak  — 8 months ago

I know I can do this today but I feel like going out for lunch instead (albeit taking paperwork with me). I just don’t have the drive for a declutter today. Why can’t I get my decluttering mojo workin’?!

Pleased with myself, I guess  — 9 months ago

I have made a start! But seems I won’t get to try again until Sunday – which seems an age away! :-D

But I’ve my first bit of flexibility next week and hope to continue, getting rid of the worst of the clutter! Yes!!
Thanks for your support, guys!
