Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What have you found to unclutter this weekend?

I have rearranged my clothing in the tallboy, and taken the opportunity to throw out a number of items. Most are going to the op-shop, but I have started cutting one pair of black leggings where the elastic is all failing into useful fabric strips (possibly for crochet, possibly for tying stakes in the garden). Several pairs of dilapidated underwear have been thrown out and replaced with nice new underwear with no holes!

The stack of throw out items in the hall is getting rather feral. I need to work out where/when I can take things *somewhere*. And I need to advertise dance items, given it is the beginning of the year. I did manage to sell one skirt though, so I'm pleased with that (accidentally. It had been there so long I had forgotten about it, and the advertised price had rubbed off the plastic bag!)

There's quite a bit of stuff in the hallway to go, mostly leftover from extensive utility room cleaning. One box of craft stuff for a coworker, a few things I brought home from work to tinker with and can go back as I'm never actually going to tinker with them, and some other random things to donate.

Utility room is a mess, but it's... a mess made of a lot less stuff. I've got another box of craft stuff started for coworker and I'm doing a lot of good sorting. Put at least one shoebox of containers in recycling, and realized I don't have one shoebox of greeting cards but two. I either need to start writing notes to everyone or just remember that I Never Need To Buy Cards Again.

Actually, I've removed one copy-paper box and a larger plastic tote entirely! (I know I'd wanted a plastic tote for something, but now I can't remember what. Bedding, maybe? Something for when I fix the bedroom closet?)

I also sorted thru some notebooks the other night, tore out pages with fic scraps and put them in my binder, then put the notebooks away. Eventually, it won't be 'I wrote some of that, it's in a notebook' but instead all in one place.

It's been a very good weekend.

Well done - you've been really productive!

Writing it all down, it really was a lot. I was feeling like I didn't get much done because the utility room is still really messy. Hopefully I can keep working on it during the week.

Thank you~

I sympathise on the not feeling like much has been done because of how much further there is to go. It is so easy to focus on the 'to do' not the 'ta da', isn't it.
