Daily Check-in

[fred_mouse]

Hi Everyone!

This is your check in for Thursday 7th November. Have you found something to declutter? Made a plan that you can implement later? What is today's decluttering win?

Open to regulars, drive by commenters, and lurkers alike!

(note that superlatives are suspended for the next few days; once I can work out a sensible set of seven, I'll restart :) )

Looking for something in the laundry I discovered a damaged plastic storage box lid that didn't match the box it was on top of, so I've binned it. I did intend to do some other screening of possibly broken items, as tomorrow is bin day, but didn't get to it.

I also sent five books to the opshop with one of the offspring - these are books in reasonable nick, that are likely to be saleable. There are a number of ex-library books in the pile, and I have to remember which of the opshops is the one that takes those. Or work out where the new drop off points for the Save the Children people are.

My house has always been pretty clutter free surface level, BUT it's because I shove everything in closets. Like to the point where I'd shove things in there and hope that I shut the door faster than it falls out, lol. So this weekend, my husband and I decluttered and purged every single closet in our house!! Everything is so organized!! We just plowed through it. Now to keep it that way!

Looking fabulous! And sorting out all the closets is a great win!

I have put some Future Tasks into a calendar event so I can file the relevant documents instead of having them on my desk in a pile.

[fred_mouse]

Oh, nice, I like a clear desk. And having it organised so Future You can do it with less stress is a win.

I've been helping the 'rents the last three mornings, so not much with my own stuff. I am slowly working in the kitchen, though.

[fred_mouse]

Helping them is still helping future you! Hope you can at least feel the difference in the kitchen, even if it doesn't feel like much.

I am recovering from a 3 day visitation of home improvement contractors, which resulted in most of my plastic storage boxes being rearranged rather randomly, and the loss of a small amount of previously usable floor space, particularly in my office. I hope to take advantage of this by getting rid of some of the things that turn up while sorting and rearranging.

There's been similar rearrangement in the basement, but I may not have the energy to do more there than make sure nothing's been placed where it will get damage in the event of common once-a-decade annoyances like hot water heater leaks.

So far today though, I'm just enjoying NOT having noisy construction work and strangers in my house.

Maybe I'll get to sorting when I've had some more coffee. Or maybe not.

[fred_mouse]

Yay for the construction being done and you having the chance to destress. Sounds like a good day to put off until tomorrow everything except the contingency check for disaster prevention!
