Mid-week uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

How is your uncluttering going this week?

I have been focusing on virtual uncluttering -- email and tasks lists! I cleared nearly half of one task list (there are many, because I run my life in Trello), so I am feeling quite virtuous. This is ahead of a meeting with my work supervisor tomorrow, as there are many achievements to report on, and the to do list allowed me to reflect on that.

Beyond that, my ever present fight with paper clutter is ongoing. I took a folder full to sit at the rink yesterday, and worked my way through half of it, so that is all gone. But the folder still looks full, and the table is still covered, so it doesn't feel like much of an achievement.

I've actually been doing pretty well this week! There's been furniture moving around the house, so while I haven't got *rid* of a lot - some, but not a lot - many things have been Agressively Tidied, so things look a lot nicer. Which should help me keep on going, since things look less overwhelming now. :3

If it helps any, I think folders have some sort of magic power where they look full once you get about a dozen things in them, so even if they're objectively super tidy and minimalised they take up the same amount of subjective-space as a full one. Because brains are weird like that. But it doesn't mean you haven't done a lot of work, just that you're probably not going to notice it until later. Fucking brains, man, they suuuuck.

Visible progress so you feel less overwhelmed is always good. :-) And sometimes (finally) getting furniture in the right places can make a vast difference. Good luck with your next steps!
