I've been trying for years to do this. I even got started with Fly Lady a few years ago and that was helping but for whatever reason, I never really got into it and got my house uncluttered. Last night, I was looking at Pinterest and found a post about decluttering. I clicked on it and clicked through and found the person's blog. Unfortunately, I didn't write anything down and when I went back to save the pin, I couldn't find it. I'm so ticked off. She seemed to have a very laid back way of tackling her clutter that I though, hey, this is for me. I hope I can find that post again.
I had high hopes for today. I was going to get up and get dressed right away and basicly do my House Blessing according to Fly Lady. That always worked for me in the past. Well, I didn't get dressed right away but I did strip the bed and put the bedspread in the washing machine. Good start. I fixed breakfast and fed Ginger and then looked at my iPad while I was eating. I made the mistake of looking to see if episode 6 of Outlander was available on the site I've been watching it on. It wasn't but last week I watched it on another site so I search for that site and sure enough, the episode was available. I probably wouldn't have been so excited to watch the episode except this was the episode when Claire and Jaime FINALLY meet again after 20 years of separation. All housework, etc was put on hold until I watched the first hour, then I was able to pause it and get some work done.
So, aside from watching Outlander and taking Ginger out twice, this is what I did today:
1. Stripped the bed.
2. Put the bedspread in the washing machine.
3. Swept the floors and living room carpet.
4. Vacuumed the apartment.
5. Cleaned the toilet.
6. Tiny bit of declutter from the kitchen counter.
7. Took out the trash.
8. Grocery shopping.
I know it doesn't really look like much but it's a lot for me. Tomorrow, I'm shooting for two 15 minute declutter sessions and mopping the floors.
