Everything In It’s Place

Talking about being a distracted squirrel of a person. Throwing spaghetti every time I turn around and hoping! All of that sure makes for a cluttered and messy house! This year and some of last year, I have been decluttering. I have been minimizing to an extent. Getting things out and donated or sold. Mostly donated. We hauled another load out yesterday.

Some of this hoard that I have is things to throw away! Like just collections of papers with notes and craft supplies that have seen their last day. I usually still have some hope for these and try to keep them UNTIL. But lately, I have been doing pretty good at de-hoarding! Sometimes already, yes, I regret it. Like “where is this?” “oh yeah, I got rid of it!” But other than that, it has been all good.

Now today, before 9 am, I am proud of myself! I cleaned off one of my bookshelves, and cleaned out my desk drawers! It is a wonderful feeling to know there is no more trash in a space. That everything is put away in its place. If everything has a place and everything is in it’s place, my space wouldn’t be so messy!

So, todays picture is my desk. It is still dusty, and a little cluttered; but it is cleaned out and off! It feels great! All the tools in one drawer, markers in another. All of the misc paper scraps are in the trash! and all the jewelry making supplies that were out of place are back where they belong. Among other things.

Besides. When you want to find something and it isn’t where it belongs, you waste time looking all over and sometimes can’t find it anyway! If everything is put away, you will be able to more easily find it. I hope this can inspire you to clean out an area today. Just one area is ok. One desk, one night stand, one table area, or one drawer. Making this kind of progress is something we all should be able to experience! It somehow declutters your mind a little when you declutter your living space.

Let me know if you have started this. Or if you are in the middle of this process like I am. I have been watching a couple of ladies on YouTube on minimalism and decluttering. I don’t remember their names. Where are you in this process? or have you just learned about it here? I would love to know.

Have a beautiful day! It is rainy and muggy here, but I intend on having a wonderful day! See you next time.!
