January Challenge (3 of 5)

[fred_mouse]

How did the decluttering of the hobby spaces go? Did you spend time looking for things that could go, move a thing or two, or have a wildly successful week? Or did you work on a different space instead?

For the third week, we are moving on to a work space -- just the one. Unless you have all the energy and all the time, in which case don't let me hold you back. But this was meant to be a gentle challenge to get started on the year. What decluttering a work space might look like

• moving the cooking equipment you never use out of the kitchen
• sorting through stuff in a work from home space so you have more space for you
• looking in the laundry for things that have drifted into corners and become one with the wall.
• going through the cleaning rag stash and getting it down to Just! One! Bucket! worth (for whatever size of bucket you keep your rags in)
• throwing out old cleaning equipment--particularly if you have replaced it with one that you use!

Alternatively: keep going with the rest and / or hobby spaces. Get things out of the house!

9 circular needles, 10 sets of double pointed needles, and a set of interchangeable needles are all leaving the house tomorrow, headed to be donated to a charity shop. I really should have done that ages ago! It doesn't make a lot of physical space, but it makes a lot of mental space.

Well done! I am not yet there with my knitting equipment. Although I have loaned a number in recent years, and possibly never got them back and not followed up.
