Minimalism And Me - Every Little Thing




Getting into one of my moods of " I have to get it done and Now!" is beginning. I know that every little thing that I get done is getting closer to my goal, so if I clean out only one drawer, its done!

Life has thrown me another curve ball and I am almost at a strike out, so I need to get something in order at the one house, just in case, but if I make that home run then things are just organized and better. Although I will say that keeping two houses clean is not always easy I am doing the best I can at the moment and that is all anyone can do, the best they can.

Friday Check In :

Besides washing clothes, drying, folding and putting them away. Besides cooking and washing the dishes. Besides talking care of the animals. Besides taking care of my patient. Besides taking care of the plants......... Did I do anything else?

I got the microwave cleaned out, it was a mess after a bowl of butter beans "popped" ALL over it.

I went through one small drawer and there was minimal papers to toss but more to just file in the appropriate folder or storage tub.

I did another evening of mowing and cleaning up the lawn.

The buying and getting rid of :

I bought a tortilla press to make fresh tortilla and it came in the mail.

That is it as far as things I really did not need but wanted. As far as taking anything else out, nothing, no stuff has been removed from any house.

I am not sure how my weekend will pan out, I reckon it depends on the weather but I really hope to get something, anything moved out of this house or the shed, given away or donated.

I really need to get super organized, just in case things do not go my way.

Every little thing helps toward the goal.

How was your week so far? Dumping junk or still holding on?

  3. Three weeks ago I began a decluttering of the hallway closet and laundry room closet. It is a huge challenge for my adhd self but I am sticking to it. I keep remembering one drawer or object at a time. My new rule is if the object has not seen the light of day in a year out it goes.
