Oooh, I have to adopt your rallying cry of "NO SCOPE CREEP!" That mistake derails me often enough, particularly while decluttering but also sometimes with crafting projects and always leaves a huge mess behind. :P
How satisfying that you got that reorganisation done that you've had in mind for years! Very cool that you have even done some decluttering along with that, very sensible given that it is much easier to organise with fewer things in the room. I am for sure going to check out your comment!
As for me, well... I had in mind for this lecture-free time to do a lot of decluttering in my room, take out the books I decluttered months ago and also the broken electronics I likewise decluttered months ago. But then work and general exhaustion got the better of me and today is already the last day of the lecture-free weeks! So I rallied all my energy and successfully went through the decluttered books again, recluttered some (because I want to re-read them and in some cases, read more of the series), put 33 books into my outgoing stuff list and took those 33 books to the public bookshelves. I was initially afraid of a) not being able to transport that many books at once on my bicycle and b) there not being enough room at the public bookshelves to shelve my about 1.4 m of books. Well, a) turned out not to be a problem (but I couldn't have taken more books in one trip so it's good I recluttered some) and b) wasn't a problem either, there was even more than 1 m of empty shelf space left when I left. Unfortunately, I did end up taking 4 books home but oh well. I know I can just take them back to the public bookshelves. I love those! Them and the Giveboxes, for non-book usable decluttered items.
I didn't make it to the small electronics rubbish container but that is a task for another day. Perhaps for the Christmas holidays, when I have more time off from uni. I am quite satisfied I finally got those books out of my room!
