weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Welcome to a weekend check-in. I have some tedious paperwork to complete, and I said jokingly to my sibling on the phone "I will probably end up tidying half the house rather than do this paperwork". Only it turns out I need a specific document, and I have lost it ~somewhere~ in this house, and that's not actually a joke any more.

I'll ramble a little in the comments like I usually do, but please check in with your challenges and successes and surprises, and let's cheer each other on a bit.

notes for my reference

Did roughly an hour (was meant to be 3x 15m with breaks, but I got distracted away from the timer) DKW-ing my bedroom and the shoe rack / child's coat rack downstairs: no Document, but I've filled a bag for the charity shop, and also made a couple of freecycle posts.

Sibling 2 (not the one I was on the phone with) has arrived for his usual weekend visit, but I think I can usefully DKW in the living room while we chat.

Just reading the concise summary of events in your post had me squirming with so much sympathy and also stress from remembering similar events in my own paperwork adventures.

Yeah, I think we have all been there: staring into space surrounded by piles. :-/ Yay for pulling yourself together and getting rubbish and recycling "gone" into their bins and everything back on the shelf!

Yes, Dana K White's method is gold for the no piles reason. Did you happen upon the document so far? If not, I am keeping my fingers crossed that you find it soon! But I think lots of progress is coming from this stressful forced tidying anyway...
