mid-week check-in
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.
