On the Twelfth Day of Decluttering...
I made it through the first pass through all of the rest of my boxes after about 50 minutes, except for one. I just couldn't face it. It was last, at the bottom of the stack, in the corner, and was labeled "papers + stuff". But I did leave it out and accessible. It will get what is coming to it soon enough ( Read more... ) -
On the Eleventh Day of Decluttering...
Tonight was going to be the first night all week that I got to come home at my normal time and have the whole evening at home instead of doing financial aid presentations for work. But since the weather tomorrow looks nasty, and I was going to use my flex day off tomorrow to finish my Christmas shopping, I decided to go out tonight to get it done ( Read more... ) -
On the Tenth Day of Decluttering...
I spent about 20 minutes wrangling cardboard boxes. I felt like this was sort of cheating, since it was easy and not real progress toward more decluttering, but since it is so directly clutter related, and the recycling is picked up tomorrow morning, it was important. It physically got more stuff out of my space, so that's good. -

On the Eighth Day of Decluttering...
I'm putting my life through a weird filtration process. Gradually culling my stuff will require making multiple passes through my boxes of things, first to get rid of obvious garbage, and then to gradually winnow more things away into the discard pile as I get more comfortable with letting go of things. Sometimes it feels really satisfying to ( Read more... ) -
On the Seventh Day of Decluttering...
I could have decluttered much earlier today, but I totally put it off. I slept in a little. I caught up on TV I had recorded all week. I took a nap. I did a few regular household chores. Then there were three hours of the Survivor finale and reunion show, which I had an appointment to watch! So, I didn't get around to my decluttering until ( Read more... ) -
National Bureau of Health for the Elderly... or something
Earlier this evening, I got this creepily long recorded call claiming to be an important health message from the "National Bureau of Health for the Elderly" (I think). It was a man speaking fairly slowly, with a slight accent I couldn't pinpoint, saying how, as a person over the age of 70, there was a 100% chance that terrible things would happen ( Read more... ) -
On the Sixth Day of Decluttering...
Started out by breaking down some boxes I had just hanging around in my spare room. Some I kept and put away, some were tagged for recycling. I made a list of categories for the things I anticipate finding and what to do with them. Then I moved on to some boxes in my closet. I occasionally raid some of my boxes in there so some of the boxes are ( Read more... ) -
On the Fifth Day of Decluttering...
Spent a lot of today mostly unsuccessfully doing some holiday shopping. Then the usual Friday night dinner with my family. When I got home, tonight's decluttering focused on my spare room/office area. The desk has been kind of take over by miscellaneous debris from my life. I also got rid of a couple of useless cardboard boxes from items I've ( Read more... )
