Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

How has the uncluttering gone this weekend?

I have barely been home, so while I haven't been uncluttering, at least I haven't been making things (much) worse. Yesterday I helped a friend sort through clothing and shoes -- a couple of items had to be thrown out, and several others went in to a bag for a clothes swap. I came home with a hoodie for Youngest, a pair of runners for me, and some chocolate. Useful having friends who are similar sizes!

But as the other thing I did yesterday was buy better skates, I have been reminded (as I am every year) that there are dance and skate items stashed that need to be rehomed. I'd really like to get those dealt with this year

Another book, another 2 DVDs and some nightwear. It's not much but at least it's something. At the moment, I'm also working on maintenance - it's making progress slower (I too may need to read the recommended blogs above), but it also means that I'm maintaining what's already been done in a clean and presentable fashion.

On the downside (clutterwise), I also brought home a couple of new tops and books. I need to work out what's going out in their place now.

Figuring out maintenance is also an important step and takes time: both to figure out what works for you (and not some idealised "organised" person) and to make it a habit, so it takes less time/conscious effort to do it. So well done on maintaining what's already been done -- that's a huge step!

(And I recommend the blog I linked as a useful read all round -- she has some good thoughts on maintenance as well as decluttering, and is very funny, while offering a lot of really smart advice.)
