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.

Paper clutter is so difficult. I have a ton of shredding to do again, and have quickly filled a recycling bag...

I found a little container I was putting receipts in and... why was I keeping receipts in it? It was just more clutter. Either receipts can be recycled, put on the fridge for a week or so until I know I don't need them (then recycled), or filed if it's something I'll want to retain.

So that's... something that's no longer clutter, yay!

Oh dear, I recognise that whole situation of thinking I'm being Very Organised by having a Proper Place to keep Important Stuff... that I don't actually need to keep! Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. ;-) Well done for identifying it as clutter and doing away with it.

Oh yeah. And I can see the very sincere attempt I was making, but I'm glad I realized it wasn't making anything better.
