So. How is everyone?

Like a lot of previous years, I had a ton of energy for tackling my clutter at the beginning of the year; and have lost steam. I'm more aware of the ways that March itself disrupts things for me; there's family birthdays and a school break for the kids, and work becomes horribly busy. Today is my first day off in at least two weeks. (As long as we don't count the 15 minute work phone call. And the emails. So... not quite a day off.) 

As March wound down, I thought about what would help me reboot my decluttering. I've decided to set some specific goals for the next few months, and then set goals for the summer.

So. My general idea is to tacke specific areas for the next while. For April I'm going to concentrate on my bedroom, because oh my goodness, it needs it, and some things disappear into the closet of doom and never see the light of day again. (You may remember my bedroom from uncluttering comms in the past, and such items as Giant Box Of Never Unpacked Whatever That's Been Sitting In A Corner For Three Years)

Anyone else working on specific goals? Running out of steam? Need some encouragement?

 My goal for April is to reduce the clutter in my bedroom. 

I started today by putting away my laundry. (Baby steps) 

OUT: 3 (stretched out tank top, capris and black short sleeve top too faded to wear for work)

IN: nada

It was hard to let go of the black top. Even though it's really faded. Even though I have other short sleeved black shirts. Even though it doesn't button up across my chest. I felt the anxious "What if I need it sometime??" voice crying in the back of my head. I'm reminded that I find it harder to let go of things if I'm stressed because that "What if?" voice is stronger, scared of not having enough.
