Nice to have a shiny sink for a few days, though.<br /><br />I can hardly say that I've cracked it, as I look around me at the piles of accumulated 'stuff' that I need to start sorting out once I've finished on here, but the thing that helps me is just to focus on one small bit at a time. On Saturday, it was 10 minutes sorting through my wardrobe to fill a bag for the charity shop. On Sunday, The Doctor and I managed to free up an hour and went through everything in the garage to create 3 piles of (1) keep, (2) clean up and pass on, (3) get rid of. We're starting to gradually get rid of pile (3) now, then we'll clean up pile (2), then we'll have space to organise pile (1), but it'll take time!<br /><br />Good luck - we're rooting for you xxhumelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337055138734278353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-46203612207872014912011-03-16T08:12:57.966-04:002011-03-16T08:12:57.966-04:00I have been decluttering for almost three years no...I have been decluttering for almost three years now. It is a long slow process. One thing I'm doing that is helping right now is following along with blog challenge at Simple Mom - http://simplemom.net/project-simplify-hot-spot-2-revealed/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+simplemom+%28Simple+Mom%29&utm_content=Google+Reader<br /><br /><br />It is a weekly challenge and we are in week 2 right now. Last week was your personal wardrobe, this week we are tackling paper clutter.<br /><br />As for daily stuff... do you watch tv? I make it a habit with the family room to use commercial breaks to clean up in there - fold throw blankets that have been tossed on the floor, remove stray dishes and food wrappers, put dropped shoes back in the laundry room. And every morning after the girls leave for school I spend literally about two minutes in there picking up and restoring order. Today I did a quick vacuum before I started yoga. So at least that room (one place in my house) stays relatively clutter free!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-17390975513216549602011-03-16T04:46:02.345-04:002011-03-16T04:46:02.345-04:00I didn't get past the 'shine your sink'...I didn't get past the 'shine your sink' day either. A shiny sink is sooooo not at the top of my priorities. In any case DH does the washing up not me. I can't help you with any tips because I just ignore it - the mess, the dust, etc<br /><br />Although I did vaccuum yesterday but only because my church group was held at my house. So that's probably it for the year now.Bernice Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155326856012097548noreply@blogger.com
