mid-week check-in

[yukonsally]

 It's that time again!  How are you doing?

I've donated a small bag of clothing, added 4 or so things to the handmedown pile, put 2 more things in the donation pile, and cleaned my desk.  I've been firmly reading library books (instead of buying new books) and placing purchase requests for other books I want to read.  I've put 4 wire racks at the curb and someone will be buy to pick them up soon (I hope).

Now that I have a cleaner work space, I hope to get more actual work done in the next few days.  Having space to lay out my paper notes while I work is essential!

Friday Report

[adair]

It is clear I am really overcommitted, because I seem to have thought today was Friday. Here is a Friday Report on Wednesday.

I have been engaged with taxes and preparing for the BTP book sale and collecting books for prison libraries and corresponding about library needs; have done little extra in my house.

I did keep sorting papers than land on 3 major surfaces; the box of tax stuff is still on my kitchen table, but it will leave as soon as I make space in the filing cabinet for 2018 tax folder (it's actually one of those brown expansion folders with an elastic band - people in the US will probably recognize it) because it is bulky, and needs to join others from 2012-2017. I will probably put all but the last two in a banker's box to stash in the garage. There are a couple of boxes with more in there; some can probably be shredded but I have to think about it. Anyway, I did not manage to keep my kitchen table clear for the last two weeks, but things should change.

I have take 18 books to BTP in March, but the box of books to move on is empty, and I have not been working on my shelves, or piles, or other stashes. I hope to get back to it after the BTP book sale, and my trip to Boston to the BTP national convention. This means I might get back to work around April 15.

Household organization, and uncluttering, takes time, and never seems to end.
