Both the recycle bin and trash bin are totally stuffed and ready to go to the curb tonight.
Another box in the garage is half full of papers for recycling.
I now have those 3 big empty plastic bins to make decluttering go faster.
One thing I've been missing for a long time is a good empty horizontal space at the right height to make sorting easier. Yes, the bed will usually work, but it's too low for most jobs -- and always seems to have a cat sleeping sprawled in the middle when I most need it.
Yesterday I just gritted my teeth and kept working in 1 spot, chipping away until I found bare table. I chose this spot because many places in our old house do not have good lighting, but this particular spot almost always does.
It was hard-won victory, but I know it will be worth it. Now the fight will be to keep DH and myself from setting anything there "temporarily."
The goal will be to use this table space for sorting, and then immediately clear it again.
