mid-week check-in

[yukonsally]

Hello!  Tell us about your efforts, successes, and setbacks this week!

I have two things that I offered on fb that just need to be picked up.  I listed another thing for sale.  While moving some things around outside, I found some scrap wood to put in the trash bin--that area looks so much nicer now.  No one but me will ever see it but it is CLEAN!  

Elder Child and I went through some art supplies and identified what can be given away.  I'll donate those, and some sandals, later today.

And I just added lots of school paperwork to the recycling bin.

Setbacks!  Time.  Spouse started going through some gear and it's still spread out.  I did pull something out of that pile to give away.  Everything else to declutter requires more time or effort than I am willing or able to give at the moment.  Deep decluttering isn't easy!  I've been coasting by on finding a thing while tidying.  Lots of things also require another person's input and you cannot force another person to get rid of a thing just because you want to declutter.  

And those damn padded envelopes are piling up again.  They are out of sight, but not out of mind.  I do keep those in mind when I find things to give away and if shipping isn't too expensive, I offer to send things to friends.

I got my kid to container concept her dollhouse furniture so now everything is either in a dollhouse or on the Furniture Bookshelf! And I managed to make some room on the bookshelves for new books by pulling out a sack of books to go away.
