declutterbug: A fresh start
http://declutterbug.blogspot.com/2009/01/fresh-start.html
Friday, January 09, 2009. I had been slipping in my decluttering ways for a while. When my sister visited last fall, she came up from the basement looking shellshocked. I could tell she was jarred and she gently asked something about cleaning it out. I think I brushed her off irritatedly. But she had a point: my basement was a nightmare. So much stuff all randomly piled and stuffed and stacked and falling over. Daily and get back into the decluttering mindset. The final count: 1 box of books (taken to wo...

declutterbug: Attack Mode?
http://declutterbug.blogspot.com/2007/01/attack-mode.html
Tuesday, January 16, 2007. There are lots of metaphors when it comes to decluttering and one of them is the war metaphor- waging war on clutter, attacking clutter, doing battle with your things. I'm more of an akido type when it comes to clutter, but I'm not sure exactly how well that's working for me. LOL. Here's what I'm up to tonight.redoing and elaborating on some of my work. I put these things, along with my Goodwill bag and box of books to sell back in the hallway. Posted by wen @ 5:54 PM.

declutterbug: Marathon cleaning
http://declutterbug.blogspot.com/2009/01/marathon-cleaning.html
Sunday, January 11, 2009. Today, my son and I did marathon cleaning all afternoon. This is an idea from FlyLady, yet again: you clean really hard for 15 minutes (always with a timer), then do whatever you want (play, watch TV, knit; I cut out pajamas) for 15 minutes, repeat. I also got my laundry-sorting table cleared and put into use and am SO happy about that. It is so nice to have a place to sort everything and have it right. There by the washer.

declutterbug: Changes
http://declutterbug.blogspot.com/2007/03/changes.html
Wednesday, March 07, 2007. A ton has happened since my last post. I was reading a decluttering your mind to declutter your space book and one thing it said really resonated.It talked about how "messies" often stress over what to get rid of and fear making the wrong decision. Should I toss this book, or is the other one better to get rid of? What if I choose wrong? The book also pointed out that messies get caught up in "overorganizing". I know I do.

declutterbug: I'm going for it.
http://declutterbug.blogspot.com/2007/02/im-going-for-it.html
Tuesday, February 06, 2007. I'm going for it. Alas, I'm doing it. Decluttering my space, organizing things, really getting it together. How? How cool is that? Once I have it fully written down, and have worked all the way through it myself, I'll make it available to a wider audience. Until then, back to decluttering for me.Woo hoo! Posted by wen @ 7:32 PM.

declutterbug: Garage sales can be just the thing
http://declutterbug.blogspot.com/2009/06/garage-sales-can-be-just-thing.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. Garage sales can be just the thing. Last year, I was given a Softub on Freecycle. I was SO excited, having drooled over them online many times. They are lightweight and come with an external pump, so seemed a perfect thing for my patio. Then nothing. I never got off my heinie to go get new connection tubes. It's been nearly a year, I think. I finally got real and decided. If I haven't gotten the tubes by now, I never will, and. Um, duh, I hate to be boiled like stew anyway. And t...
