Standing at the crossroads yet again....

[poltr1]

Once again, I get the itch to start cleaning my my hopelessly cluttered house. But I don't know where to begin. I don't have a clear spot to work. I should just pick an area, or a box, and start working.

And then there's this part of me that believes I'll be judged by the amount of trash I throw out. Hell, that's what I do.

Recently the best excuse for decluttering I had was that my room was being painted after 10 years and when stuff was pulled, it was just boxed and removed.

Putting stuff back into the room (some of which still is in boxes from the cleaning that was finished in May 2008) was when I just said the heck with it and pulled anything I didn't want, put it into 3 basic piles... Keep, toss and donate to charity (interfilk got some stuff, my old scout troop got the rest for their annual fund raiser.)

As for a starting point, just pick an area and start doing it. Even a small amount per day adds up after a while.

Its amazing the space you find after you declutter. (And you usually don't notice the stuff after its gone either.)
