unclutterHow goes you weekend sorting of things?
A fortuitous combination of long weekend, mild summer weather, partner away for Saturday and part of Sunday, and no kids extracurriculars on Saturday came together with a good night's sleep on Friday for me to decide that it was Time! to deal with the spare room. After a flurry of moving things around, moving things out, and sorting through boxes, I have a large number of items to rehome. Some are valuable enough to sell, which is going to be a bit tedious, but useful. Some have been offered on the local Buy Nothing group, and a collection of yarn and a pile of kids clothing have already been requested.
And it has come with a stack of wins. The spare room is possibly going to be useable again! I was able to get some items back in the wardrobe in the back corner, so they aren't in the way. I've found a set of things I *knew* I had and didn't know where to look, and all the plastic tubs I've sorted through so far (about 12, 3 now empty) have one category of thing in and are labelled. Sure, one of those labels is 'Chaos', because it is everything else, but the though is there.
