We are at the
EXACT HALF POINT OF THE YEAR!
What a wonderful time to start something anew, to make a plan, to dream a little dream of what could be by 2010. Join us for at least 15 minutes a day, set aside as a decluttering appointment with your lovely home!
And share with us "where you are" with your own decluttering in relation to the 2009 calendar! How will you keep track of "where you're going" with your decluttering for the next half-year? Will you track, calendar, schedule, MAP , or perhaps weigh those outgoing bags?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you’d like some partners while working:
Something that's been working well for several of us this first half-year has been a weekly room/area rotation together. During each current week, those who choose to can declutter "together" in the upcoming week's Focus Cleaning room as a first step toward lovely spaces. We know cleaning is efficient if clutter is not in the way - we can almost have fun with it. But clutter can discourage or stop us if we can't find the surfaces in the first place. Decluttering is a preceding step that can (literally) make cleaning a glide instead of a stumble.
You’ll find some July declutter partners in these rooms:
Week of 6/29 closets
Week of 7/6 laundry
Week of 7/13 storage
Week of 7/20 outdoor
Week of 7/27 kitchen
Substitute a different room or area whenever it will match your home’s needs best, and change back and forth from this plan to your own anytime.
