Wednesday's unclutter post

[peaceful_sands]

In fred_mouse's absence (hopefully things are going well on her trip), the rest of us still need to try and keep going with our decluttering. So what have you achieved this week? Anything out? Something small even that you'd almost forgotten about? Share with us your progress.

Went through the box of car maintenance stuff and found four or five things to go. Sorted out a few more books from the bookshelves and identified a pile of the next books to delve into for my reading project. Shredded a pile of old paperwork. Read a magazine (within a month of it arriving!) so it can go in the recycling.

None of it has actually left the house yet, but it's all gone to the right places and is ready to go when I next head in an appropriate direction.

I also moved some things to better places to store them -- I think I've actually reached the "organise" stage now I've mostly done the "declutter" part in some areas!

That's a good way to think of it. I've been doing this decluttering thing for nearly 3 years and have slowed down immensely to the smaller bits. Thinking of it as decluttering and organizing is good--and it's pretty accurate, as I dig into storage and move things around that we are keeping.
