Decluttering!

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Life laundry. I wish I could live in a clutter free environment. I want everything to have its place, but I hate throwing things away.

I’m caught up in the I could use this for a future project, and you’ve had 5 years to complete this project; it’s still in the box.

Maybe I need an intervention. If I clear one space, I feel a great sense of achievement. But what’s the use if it gets moved to another room.

When my mum and dad died in the same year, it took 5 years to fully clear the house. My sister and I were motivated to take things to the charity shop and the recycling plant, and we hired a skip. We felt such a sense of achievement, but it made me reflect on the futility of acquiring possessions when you have to leave it all behind.

Maybe 2024 will be the year.
