Any progress with your desk ratchet? I had forgotten until now that I'd challenged myself to create something once the desk was clear. It's amazing how much it's piled up in just five days.
So, first, what can I recycle? And while I'm sorting out the last bits I'll decided what to make.
Sometimes things happen in the strangest of ways.
I'm still yet to produce th piece of work on my almost completely decluttered desk that will mark the completion of my challenge. I got a bit distracted and moved on to beneath the desk because I was offered a couple of sets of drawers that fit there perfectly.
I've spent this evening cleaning them up and while they're not the prettiest of things they're probably more practical than anything I would have chosen. Once I'm properly organised I'll see what I can do to prettify them. had a good trawl through workspace of the week on the Unclutterer site too - some lovely ideas there.
The very best thing about the drawers is that they fit my largest sketch books and endless paper supplies left over from studying. If the books and paper are stored more attractively I'll use them, right?
Hello Declutterers.
This weekend I stopped caring about decluttering or much else, and then I remembered that I had to pack for a couple of days away. Suddenly having a properly thorough chucking-out session seemed like the best fun.
Realising that I finished studying one year ago tomorrow gave me extra motivation to mentally move on and consiously create space for whatever comes next. I've gone about it in a way that isn't normally recommended - the opposite of little steps!
During a tea break I caught up with Erin's posts, including the one about her personal motivation for keeping the stuff under control (July 28). This reminded me that above all else this process is NOT about stuff, it's about people.
I finally feel like I'm winning the ongoing battle with having too much stuff in my bedroom / workroom, and perhaps thats a sign that I've turned a corner elsewhere in life?
Thank you for reading!
I believe in doing what works for you best. I'm a huge fan of getting rid of as much as possible as time and stamina allows.
