How are you with clutter? I’m a bit of a hoarder, I keep things that I know I’m not going to use again, but can’t bear to throw away. But I also can’t stand mess! It’s a bit of a battle really. I vowed when we had the kitchen redone that there was not going to be clutter on the worktops and I’m not doing too bad. I’ve got a fruit bowl, a quote and a kettle on one side and that is it. However I do have a huge drawer full of ‘stuff’!!!! Magazines, stationery, pen pots, tickets, books, letters! But at least I can close that drawer (just) and make it all well hidden! 😉
How about you, where is your clutter?
My craft room is really hard to keep on top of, now I think about it, I really hoard craft stuff. I can’t call them supplies as lots of it hasn’t been bought from a shop, but ‘stuff’ I’ve collected, ribbons, paper, card, buttons. I recently had a clear out and threw away things I have kept for over 10 years and not used. I had to have a lie down in a dark room after!!!
I think some of my hoarding is sentimental reasons, like birthday cards, but some things are because I can’t stand sending things to landfill that can be reused. When I saw this post on Pinterest I though it was a good way to ease myself into decluttering, at the same time as helping friends and family. One one person may want to declutter, another person may want to rehome. Spare buttons for example, I use buttons in scrapbooking and card making so would happily take them off someone else, where as I might have DVD’s that others may not have watched yet.
I also liked how it was split up into sections, I don’t think I could decluttere 101 things all in one go, but could I do one from each section to start with and then revisit the list in 3 months time?
So shall we get accountable? Who wants to do this with me? List the things you are going to declutter, either in the comments below, or in the facebook group and see if anyone wants it before donating it to charity or throwing it away. You can start with one item, or one from each section like me.
Who’s in?
My wife and i were absolutely peaceful Peter managed to do his inquiry using the ideas he gained when using the site. It’s not at all simplistic just to find yourself handing out concepts that people could have been trying to sell. We really figure out we have got the blog owner to appreciate for that. All of the illustrations you made, the straightforward website navigation, the relationships your site assist to foster – it is most incredible, and it is facilitating our son in addition to the family reason why that article is cool, and that is incredibly vital. Thanks for the whole thing!
