March Declutter - Mentoring Each Other, 2019
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2019 6:44 pm
This thread is about encouraging each other to keep at the constant work of clearing the clutter from our homes, organizing.
We have had so many great mentoring-type moments in the village recently regarding clutter.
By bringing some over to the monthly declutter gathering, I thought we could see them again for inspiration.
Here's blessed yesterday in PWYC, talking about her late 2018 and early 2019 efforts. It's not everything she said - go back there and read through (first pg PWYC).
That speaks to me regarding projects that do have true importance, but need to be cleared away when not immediate. Also consistency. Thanks, blessed.
Definitely are some others.

I found that staying with the basics really works if you don't have clutter. Cleaning is easier without too much stuff in a room. I was used to have projects I was working on being out, not putting things away right away - caused a lot of issues, leaving things out for convenience etc. around me caused it to be harder to work. lol i never believed anyone who said do it right away - I have a strong inner rebellious kid in me.
I also found that all those get it done in a day times only burnt me out and I fell off the track more and left my routines behind.
by not handling certain things at 15 minutes a week my photos grew to almost a year long process. one hour a week.
by not facing my stuff - I had guilt, regret of what I hadn't done, dread, depression, fear of facing pain of going through my past of spending too much, time cleaning and moving clutter of all of us, failure feeling, wasted time. - I found myself thinking I was a failure bc I couldn't keep up like other women I know. (I did a lot with my children which I don't regret and loved so much) But once I faced the stuff and past dreams (fantasy of who I wanted to be or who I was and who I am now) (really really a struggle at first) and started working for 15 minutes @ 4 x a day; the process got easier and my joy and self esteem (and forgiveness of my ADHD ways) slowly build. Now I am finding that if I face a horrible thing or task, that I dread on anti-procrastination day, that the first day/week was extremely hard emotionally, but then gets easier and easier. I move forward in the life I want now.
best: keep it simple and you don't have to do it all (don't over-goal)
