Be Ruthless: Declutter & create order out of chaos

I seriously need to clean up everything I brought home from school and organize my new room (my family moved during my first year at school, so I came home to a new room unfamiliar to me…it wasn’t my room I had for 18 years!!!)

Five years in our house; it is time to clear the chaos to make way for LIFE and friends and family and ourselves.

Take advantage of the neighborhood yard sale on June 21. Spend any $$$ in Costa Rica!

I’ve definitely made huge improvements in this area! My bedroom now looks “staged” (as in what a professional does when getting your house ready to sell) and walking through the house, everything looks put away and calm and peaceful. I know that I still have a lot of sorting to do, because I really want to simplify my life. However, I still have two other “goals” that basically are the same thing, so I wanted to (1) acknowledge all the work that I’ve accomplished so far and (2) make room for a new goal. Since I no longer live in chaos, I’m marking this one as completed.

My grandmother loves this one ;)

_{edit: I know the idea is to get rid of stuff, not to add more, but I just had to have this bag… also I could fill it up… ;)}

Uhm, with pain in my heart I’ve thrown out a shoulderbag of which one strap had been torn… I really love this bag, but well… throwing it away gives me a good reason to buy a new one.. ;)

About this goal: I try to spend at least 10 mins/week on decluttering.. I know it isn’t much, but at least I’m getting rid of some clutter :)
