I feel like I'm a "terrible de-clutterer" compared to Harriet, Nancy and others.
But I had an idea!
I put it on my calendar reminders to come to my inbox in the afternoon, which states, "De-cutter Something!"
I just didn't know what to declutter today, but the I remembered.
Last p.m. I had 3 photos emailed to me of dgd, so I printed some photos up, framed 2, had 1 tacked on the wall, where I had a tack-hole for someone's other Christmas photo. Well, silly me!
I left all sorts of photo paper scraps on the tall custom-made art-table desk in the main office, it was a cluttered up mess, and I cannot believe anyone in their right mind can just make a mess like that, turn off the light and leave! So, just now, I put the photo scraps in recycle, I dumped 2 pens, which didn't work at all, into the trash, and I sharpened a pencil to have next to the writing pads near the portable phone in there. It's much easier to erase and rewrite with a pencil when writing a message quickly than to use a pen, out of ink, or even WITH ink, making mistakes and scribbling. Now, I think I'll put some pencils at EACH portable phone. I also have those little erasers to fit on the end of the pencil. They're cute and are out of places if toddlers come to visit.
I organized books and things on my end table. I have 1 tall stack, about 18" of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books, but it's for homework, as a writer, to study them. It's a temporary stack, but it's tidy because all the "Soup" books are relatively the same measurements high and deep, only the thickness of them changes.
