weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Hi all, it's the weekend and it's time for me to declutter. One of my current challenges is that the two rooms I most want to work on (living room, study) are also the two rooms where other people in my household like to hang out, and decluttering can get in the way of what they're trying to do. So I am seizing the moment while no-one else is in the living room, putting on some women's ice hockey from earlier today to keep me company, and seeing how far I can get.

Share your challenges, successes, tactics and strategies in the comments!

I have:

• Admitted that I wasn't going to finish searching through the big box of Lego for the pieces to make the set I was working on, and put it all away
• While I was at it, dismantled the big set I had sitting on the table
• Filed a couple of the things piling up on my desk
• Folded up the dry bedding I took down earlier and put it all away

The table is still overly crowded, and the desk isn't great, but progress is progress.

I do have an accumulation of Christmas presents on the table, and I'm not sure where to put them that's going to be safe and tidy and also less in the way; might be one to think about.

I'm also going to post separately on the comm about something else I'm trying!

Yes, quite a lot of progress done, congrats to you! :D

I, too, find it hard to admit defeat or at least a temporary stop on any project but putting it away is a very good thing in that case and I admire you for doing the deed with the Lego project.
