I had 5 stacks of papers to sort, in the main office. It's currently not being used, b/c DH needs a new computer tower. He's not using a computer now. I put the papers back into the basket, after doing the sorting on and off for 2 weeks. I decided, to sort it, from the basket, to limit the 5 stacks of papers, which were causing angst because of "The Clutter v. s. Calm Effect."
Today, I cut out a 2015 calendar taped it in a side-by-side wooden file box, DD got me from Ikea, years ago, then she stained it olive. I got out my S. H. E. cards today, I made 3 daily routines cards, and found my cards, labeled with how often I'll do certain rooms, jobs, like china cabinets, etc... I need to refresh myself with more items, on-line, especially at CEO's site, because I don't have books on the card method. I mailed mine to a woman in dire need of help, several years ago, to bless her, to help her, and she was very ecstatic about this method. Then, several years later, her cancer returned and she passed away.
I made several 'Action Cards' about 2 weeks ago, and slowly have been sorting through them, crossing items off, as I go. I put them with the card box, with the 3 routine cards, and the eating bar has been de-cluttered now.
We put away our 2.5-foot tall holiday tree. DH insisted he loved it out, because it had no fake holly in it, just red berries, red Cardinals, and ivy on the fake fir tree branches. It had a birdhouse on top, too, with fake suede-wood-looking bows on it. We put it away, because I "insisted" on decorating that spot with a cut crystal and burgundy-roses glass bowl, to match other red glass things, I'm currently decorating with, for Valentine's Day. ♥ I also put away a cream-colored poinsettia, to the top of the dining room china cabinet top, b/c DH insists it is much-much too beautiful to keep year-round in the cold garage. He adores this, it's very nice, it's from Costco and the quality is impeccable. I put spring-time flowers in my copper spittoon on top of the entry way china cabinet, to BOAST "IT'S SPRING SOON!", as guests walk in. Now, I need to clean the entry way real well and DH takes care of the porch. He also hung up our cork-Easter Island head, on the covered porch area, which has been spray-painted black, (the head/not the porch!). He took down our holiday wreath, which had birds on it, too, but didn't look specifically for Christmas. It looked like a traditional winter season wreath.
I've slowly been working on my small office, I also dumped trash twice today, and put dirty dishes into the DW and ran it, so there are no dirty dishes in the dish drainer anymore. Everything's shaping up. I opened blinds today, to let sunlight in, and some windows are dirty, but that will be taken care of, when DH figures out the window-washing kit, we have. It has a specific recipe, so the dirt on the windows will be "de-cluttered" one of these days, too.
I also sorted/purged snail mail today, and put a grocery list and receipt in the burn trash, too.
