Right, noting for my own reference that as Monday was a bank holiday and I remained in isolation, I did do another two approximately 30-min stints tackling the remaining boxes and bookcases.
I have pulled out so. much. stuff. Don't get me wrong, the shelves are still full of books and some things I probably should make decisions about, but I've filled another carrier bag to throw away, and I have a truly huge recycling pile. (And that is after taking some time first thing while everyone else was still asleep to take out all the rubbish/recycling/shredding I generated yesterday). And a large pile for the charity shop.
I entirely emptied a small bedside table and decided to freecycle it, along with the pedal bin I never use in here. I think the biggest thing I decided was that I no longer need to keep all the textbooks from my business degree, nor do I need to keep my handwritten notes. I haven't consulted them in the 5.5 years since I finished the degree, and I can't imagine I ever will now. I've kept the most interesting textbooks, for now, but that cleared a lot of space (that I promptly filled with books that were teetering elsewhere).
Today is a normal working day, and if all goes well I will be away at the weekend, but I really want to keep up the momentum in this room somehow.
