We finished clearing out the desk. The new one arrived yesterday. This one has drawers so I'm hoping to keep this one dustable! Hubby might make it a struggle. We'll see.

I started cleaning out our desk today. Sorted piles of paperwork, and filed or threw it out. Looks better, only have hours to go on it. Lol

Went through a box yesterday. Threw things out, found things I've been looking for, put other things away. Another box ready to burn!

I was in the same boat. Now I only keep the most recent ones, and certain special ones. But only from certain people.

So today I got some cleaning done. Not actual decluttering, but the place looks better. Since my schedule changed, I've been kinda overwhelmed. Today made me feel like I can do this.

Ok, reality check. I haven't done any decluttering in a week! Work schedule changed, and it messed me up. I feel doomed to live with big plans and no results. I have to start over, small steps. That's how I made so much progress. Its so discouraging though.

My utensil drawer has been ridiculous for a while now. I don't like the crock with cooking utensils in it, but that's all I could think of. So I just dig through the horrible drawer. Yesterday, I thought of moving the kitchen towels to the linen closet. After 16 years! So today that happened! Then I put new shelf paper in…

Dad's pictures are so daunting! I'm just grabbing a handful everytime I go in the spare room. I'll get them done that way. I have a clear space in the spare room now, so I can move the dresser!

All the empty boxes are broken down and on the porch, ready to burn! I also mended 3 dog beds that were under the boxes. (Puppy chewed holes in them). YAY! During football today, I hope to go through the huge bin of pictures from Dad's house.

You are all so motivating!

My plan today is to clear all the empty boxes out of the spare room. Once that's done, I'll be able to do more than step in! I have to get to the point I can move the dresser to the wall.

I got the business paper work sorted and put away last weekend. New files ready for the new year. Have some shredding left, but working on it. Also, got some shelf liner this weekend. Will be implementing that idea!

This is a great idea! Doesn't take much time, but accomplishes so much!

Its been almost a year since I checked in here. As all of you know, its been a year! I was not home for most of it., and the clutter proves it! I'm back at it, little chunks at a time. Its a bit discouraging, but I made huge progress before, so I can do it again. Happy New Year all!

Hi all! Got home yesterday, after 7 weeks babysitting in NY. Today was a relax, get reaquainted with my house day. Hubby shampooed rugs, and kept the place in decent shape. He's wonderful. :)! Not sure what I'm getting into this month that I'm home. There are many options! I just know that having to go through my parents'…

Again, thank you! I appreciate all the support. :smiley:

WOW! Thanks so much my friend!

Thank you. My brother and sister will be there too, so I'm sure many hilarious stories will be told. :)

After NY, I'll be home for a month, then go to Florida to help clean out dad's house (my dad died 2 weeks ago). In September I'll be back in NY for the birth of our 4th grandchild! Pray for me, this is a lot. Love you!

Hi all! I've been in NY a month, and still have 3 weeks to go. Babies are great, teaching is kicking my a**, but we have a routine. I'm really missing home though.

Thank you New! I'm quarantined at my daughter's in NY, so not getting anything done. But we do what we have to, besides its time with the babies. :)

Hi my peeps! My SIL might get orders on Wednesday to deploy to New York City. If so, I'll be going to Western New York to babysit. I'm packing for 6 weeks. Hopefully it won't be longer, but it is what it is. Stay safe everyone!

Congratulations on your closet, and on your yoga pants!

I hope that all of you are safe throughout this madness! Its a scary time, but we can get through together. Thinking of you all.

I am hoping to move in the next couple years. I'm trying to go through everything in the house, because I really don't want to move anything we don't use or want.

I got the 2019 business paperwork packed away. Went through the 2009 paperwork, threw most out. Have a pile of papers to shred, but am working on that every day. Shredder gets emptied every time the garbage goes out. I know its maintenance but I'm thrilled with myself for actually keeping up with something.

You are an inspiration! Glad life is going so well for you!

Congratulations New! You are knocking it out of the park!

I went through my kitchen last year. The amount of space I had was amazing! Now, I try to empty one shelf a month, to wipe it down. Takes 15 minutes and makes me look at what I'm putting back in there. Feels great doesn't it?!

I love bibliophiles! You are inspiring me to declutter like I'm moving this month!
