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 is tough, isn't it? I don't have any good way to measure "this dozen pieces of paper is less than the two dozen previously," aside from actually counting it out, so progress is hard to see. Good for you for doing it anyway! You'll look at that table some day and see a difference. :)

Let's see: I went through the china cabinet and packed an entire box of stuff for family and donation. This isn't really a reduction, as it only made room for the kitchen stuff MIL gave me last year that was boxed, but it's a win anyway because now I can see and access the stuff I actually like and want to use. In the process, I discovered we have FOUR TEAPOTS. /facepalm All of which I like.

Star also moved the entire craft closet into a heap on the floor. @___@ We have a lot of craft stuff. This is going to be quite the adventure to sort.

I cleared off my (old, terrible, rickety, particle board) computer desk yesterday and it is going out the door today. Star is clearing their (same as above) desk today and it is also going out the door.

We went to the antique store over the weekend and both of us liked a wooden desk they had there. Turns out there was just enough wiggle room in the budget to buy it. \o/ Now that we have one room almost completely empty, the new desk and a power supply go in there, and we're discussing repainting it next month, as neither of us are fond of its seafoam-green walls. I am excite.

Sounds like you've made lots of good progress. I hope you enjoy using the kitchen stuff and, especially, the lovely new desk, and that the craft stuff doesn't take too long to sort!
