It’s been almost a year since we’ve been offline, but I am still continually battling with clutter. I think it’s almost sort of a .. syndrome, which is why I’ve started up Project Un-Clutter! My friends automatically assume that I am cleaning whenever they ask what I’ve been busy doing at home. Sadly, usually, they are right. So in starting this Project Un-Clutter, perhaps I will be more responsible to myself if I have to document my travels navigating through my stuff on AimSimple. I will focus on my problem areas one by one (which many of you may also encounter) that seem to crop up again and again, as well as focus on areas that I seem to be making some headway.
I only have a small room to deal with, but it seems as though the “stuff” seems to build up, and build up. My last public battles helped during the time, but I find that I have difficulty sticking with a plan. I devote a weekend, and things seem to be okay, but I then fall back into the traps of papers, books, junk mail just thrown around, in hopes that I will one day “look at it again”.
For inspiration, I usually visit Unclutterer’s Workspace of the Week to get at my clutter, not only to be neat, but dust-ball free. I also look to A&E’s Television show Hoarders sometimes to get myself moving. These people do not describe the general population, but have a sickness of hoarding and being unable to detach themselves from any of the objects they own, including garbage. It’s eye-opening, sad, yet strangely motivating at the same time.
So join me in my goal to a start of a clean free, dust free, clutter free area!
