Getting motivated

March 26th, 2007 at 03:24 pm

Took my B-12 and doing the Flylady thing today. I need to get this house in order!
Lots of decluttering to do. Too much stuff in too small of a house.
I also have some woodwork that needs to be stained. I'm putting this on here so maybe I will actually "get R done." Smile
Went to CVS yesterday and saved $12.00 with coupons. Sales, coupons, extra bucks...gotta love it. Also putting $4.00 toward challenge for a total of $1413.00

    Something that helped me when I did FlyLady's decluttering is that I moved everything out of the room I was decluttering except necessarry furniture. I took everything off the tables and tried to visualize how I wanted it to look and put stuff back as I wanted it to look. The rest of the stuff, I put in a box and stored it. A couple of times, I traded something in the box for something that I had on one of the tables.

    Also, I found out that trying to throw 27 things away or giving 27 things away a day is harder than you think. I even include newspapers, mail that I don't want, and sometimes I'm up to 19 or 20 items and then you really have to look for stuff to get rid of. It becomes like a game but you really do start seeing the results if you have paper piles like I had and magazines that come in the mail.

    This is a good time of the year to do the decluttering. Good luck!

    Forgot one thing in that if you have to stain the woodwork that it may be a good time to get stuff out of the room thereby getting 2 things done at once.
