weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Hi all and welcome to the weekend check-in. Last week I set myself an ambitious to-do list and er, managed three of them. But that's three more than none!

This week, in a flashback to January, I have tested positive from covid, am isolating from my family in my room, don't have any symptoms, and am considering applying the Dana K. White 5-step decluttering to the places I didn't get to in January. (For one room that I didn't think was that messy, I didn't get around all of it in January, and I pulled out a LOT of rubbish / recycling from the places I did tackle.)

One thing I have managed to keep up since January is keeping the places I decluttered free of new accumulating rubbish. I do a little pick up in here most days, usually when I get an hourly movement reminder from my fitbit. But there are plenty of shelves and stacks to go through still.

Share your challenges and successes in the comments!

Sorry to hear you're in Covid isolation again, but that all sounds like some very impressive progress and you're certainly making constructive use of an annoying situation.

I seem to remember Dana K. White says to test pens and make sure they're working before you keep them. :-) So, if you haven't done that, it may be an easy way to reduce the numbers a bit.

I have been testing every pen before it goes in the mug! I also try to remember to bin pens if I try to use them and they don't work.

(I just really like pens, they tend to be my go-to souvenir from anywhere I visit.)

Well, if you have space in the "container" (and I think that means the shelf where mugs of pens can go, not a single mug?), then I'm pretty sure Dana K. White would say keeping them is fine! Especially if they bring up nice memories of when/where you bought them when you use them. :-)
