A Quick Definition
March 24, 2018
I’ve been thinking about decluttering since my home has gotten cluttered up again and I’m trying to get back on the Flylady bandwagon which may or may not be working. Although, I did watch this video yesterday which said not to worry about decluttering until routines are in place. HA! Seems I’m on the right track after all. :-D
I also have been watching other videos on homemaking and organization, and I realized today, after looking at my clutter, that decluttering is simply about getting your home free of junk and getting what you do use organized in a way that makes living easier and less stressful. It even makes cleaning your home easier because there isn’t that much to clean or take care of. Yeah, I probably already knew that, but when it hits you while actually looking at your overcrowded shelves, it’s a motivator. And it seems I should write that down somewhere so I’ll remember why I’m doing what I’m doing. I also need to give it time – it’s not going to get un-messy in a day or even a month. I’m not the patient type, but I need to learn to wait.
Another good thing to remember: You have to do it and not just think about doing it. As in – you actually have to do the work, live your faith, give the money, and not just read the book or have an idea and not do anything about it. Thinking does not equate doing. Although some psychologists tell you your brain doesn’t know the difference, well, your house will. Or someone else will reap the blessings of giving. Know what I mean?
Happy Saturday and let’s go for the burn this last week of Lent.

If it did, I'd be the most productive human being on the planet -_-
