preparing for the new year

[wychwood]

We're coming up towards the traditional season of uncluttering!

I've been doing a little bit of reorganising spaces:

• Replaced an under-bed storage box that was really hard to get out with a much easier one
• Sorted out the contents of that box and the two next to it and moved some things around
• Pulled out a bunch of travel or mostly-used toiletries from one of them to go ahead and just use up (most of them have been in there since well before I moved into this flat, which is... six years now)
• Put a small storage box on my bedside table for pills etc so I stop knocking everything on the floor while trying to find the correct packet first thing in the morning

Also, on the digital front, some post-Christmas updating of catalogue spreadsheets with my new presents, before I shelve them, and clearing out of assorted emails that were waiting for me to do something with them!

Anyone else using the downtime before New Year to get some decluttering done?

I've got some stuff that needs to go, for sure. I don't have a lot of extra downtime but thanks for the reminder, I'll at least get stuff into the car so I can drop it off.

That's a good start! It's easy to collect lots of things in the house but harder to get them out...
