I Have A Letting Go Of Stuff Bug Up My Butt Again

There is too much stuff in our house again.

About a month ago I noticed the clutter when I had to clean out the two drawers in my coffee table (i was getting it ready to sell) and didn’t know what to do with all if the pens and pencils and other miscellaneous stuff I had stored in there.

Clutter suffocates.  I actually felt closed in when I was dealing with the drawers.  Mainly because I didn’t know what to do with all of the stuff.  i didnt have a place for it to go and i didnt know what to do about it. I never really felt like that before.  Out of control.  Embarassed that I had all of that stuff. 

I should know better right?

My husband commented two weeks ago that we had stuff in the kitchen cupboards that we aren’t using and we should probably get rid of.

I say we, but I know it’s going to be mostly me.  if he’s ready to let go, I will do the leg work.

I laid awake one night while we were in South Carolina thinking about where I would start decluttering and what I would do.

I decided to start in the basement. We are getting some work done on our sewer pipes sometime this week so I decided to clean up my steel table first so it doesn’t look that bad in that area.

It took me an hour but I got it under control.  I wish I would have taken a pic but I didn’t.  At least it wasn’t as bad as last time.

I let go of 12 items.

It feels good to have the table clutter free.

Next I’m going to work on organzing the cubes in my office. Some of my drawing pencils and stuff are going to be put on the steel table.  My pencils and stuff are small plastic bins so it will be neatly stored.

I need to reorganize my cubes to fit my business stuff in.

The goal I have for my office is to have everything organized so I can grab what I need and go to work.  It’s getting there but I still have a ways to go.

I will definitely have to let go of some stuff in my office.  I have some things in mind to let go of.

I’ve been thinking about letting go of 100 items again.

We’ll see how it goes.
