Post-holiday blues = unmet expectations, disappointments, a return of loneliness, guilt about overindulgence, excess fatigue and stress. I’m in a profession where a lot of ppl every week tell me what they are going thru, so I notice patterns. I get it too, it will hit me although not hard since I am my own […]
I’ve begun de-cluttering my office. I do it every few months as the paperwork begins to pile up. I’ve never gotten the hang of the “pick up each piece of paper only once” rule. I’m always setting something aside to look at in a few days, a few weeks. I use a daily flip calendar […]
For the first time in 22 years, the magazine was delivered last week and I did not do the mailing the same day. I seriously needed some down time and am taking it this weekend. I call it going underground, where I cut off all voicing and listening, disconnect from anyone who needs me for […]
This morning I awoke early and well rested after yesterday’s uncluttering. I began in the garage, first driving my Prius out onto the driveway so I had an empty space as a staging area. I first moved my trusty sawhorses into place and made a table by setting on top of them two 1″ x […]
I’m a morning person. I’m up at first light, feet on the floor and ready to get into the day. This past week I’ve been in and out of the garage and shed, moving items, discarding items, recycling items, setting old books aside to give away. I love it when I get on a kick […]
I spent the entire day yesterday uncluttering. Here’s what I put on Facebook: What am I going to be for Halloween? Clutter free! I just cleaned out the linen closet. I should have taken all these pillows to the Melbourne Free Market when I went Sunday. Aaaarrrgh! The linen closet would be much more empty […]
The older I get, the more clean and less cluttered I like my surroundings. I used to have to be surrounded by my stuff. Now I like the empty white space. I like lots of space between my molecules.
I’ve just finished cleaning my office yet again and rearranging the furniture in it. I now have absolutely zero clutter in there and no excuse not to come in and sit down to work right away each day. Part of my routine is typically to rearrange my stacks of Work To Do in separate piles […]
If you had any idea how much you were being energetically and financially held back by the stacks of clutter you let collect in your life, you’d go on a purging rampage like never before. And you can keep whatever you want. Get a bunch of boxes and a giant magic marker, box it all […]
Just when I thought I’d uncluttered all I could, I saw my office supply closet with new eyes. I pulled out 6 old keyboards, 4 trackball mice, 20 lbs of manuals for software I haven’t had for ten years, packing boxes for every electronic device I’ve bought probably ever, miles of computer cable, microphones, headsets, chargers, […]
