How's your uncluttering going?

I realised it's been a while since we had a general "check in" post where we can pat ourselves on the back about our successes, talk about the challenges and struggles we're wrestling with, and motivate ourselves by sharing our plans.

And, of course, cheer on others and provide suggestions for those who ask for help.

So here's that post!

(I'm planning to make more posts like this, but I'm absolutely not committing to doing that on any kind of regular schedule — and would be more than happy for other people to put up "check in" posts when they feel the urge!)

That's a good set of goals. :-) I hope you're able to make some satisfactory progress this week.

Re: the art supplies — you might want to consider starting by doing a quick purge of the "easy stuff" i.e. anything that's unusable because it's used up/out of date/dried out/just not in good enough condition to use. (This is following the advice of one of my favourite decluttering bloggers, Dana at https://www.aslobcomesclean.com, who points out that spaces/stuff start organising themselves if you just take away things that shouldn't be there.) It may also help you get an overall sense of what you have before you put a lot of effort into organising things that you then decide not to keep.

Good advice! I'm going to see what I can do this week. Would really like to get at least some of it purged/donated at the very least.
