January 22, 2022- Saturday Declutter Crew Week 4 of January.

 Saturday Declutter Crew  

Week 4 of January. 

How do you feel now after being intentional or lets say mindful of your sleep/ bed surroundings? 

 Having a week left to finish up my 4 corners seems daunting, but I have to push myself or  I will get no where fast, right? 

Did you small wins in other areas? I know some in this group did little in their bedrooms yet accomplish more in other areas and that's wonderful. These exercises and suggestions are guidelines to eventually get around to your entire living space. 

This will get you thinking of where to remove and declutter certain high traffic areas. How about your closet in your bedroom? What does that look like for you? How many  different sizes of clothes do you have ? Have you heard of the the old trick where you place all hangers in the same direction. after wearing them and being laundered- put them the opposite direction so in 3 months you will see from the hanger direction which clothes you didn't wear once. Even do it every 6 months to cover your seasonal wardrobe. 

The end of January is coming near. Do you have a plan of attack for the last week discussing our bedrooms? Again, you are going to get out of this -  the time and effort you put into it. Have some reflection time and see what you want and can do this last week. 

Take pictures of what your bedroom looks like. What does it represent after 3 weeks? Three Saturdays. Was there effort? A desire? Too sick? Too tired? Too Busy? Totally unmotivated? You know what you are capable of. You know your desires and excuses. At times, we have to get out of our own way. And just do. 

May this week be better then last week. You got this. xoxo

January 15, 2022- Saturday Declutter Crew Week 2 of January.

 Half way through the month and how do you feel? Defeated? Positive? Discouraged ? Motivated? Wherever you are at , it’s your path, your way. However, like anything in life, you are going to get out of this project, what you put into it. You could start in any room of your house, yet take note of which room we are in, as you know, January is bedroom month.

Have you made any progress? For me, I am more mindful of my sleeping area. I feel good that I’ve kept it relatively clean and organized. The next 2 weeks I am concentrating on my 360 degree view of my room. All 4 corners. My bedroom square. I have so many boxes to get rid of. About 10 banker boxes of crafts and body shop products, from vendor shows and my Friday Freebies. Lots of misc items that I have to part with or start using. It’s not easy getting rid of things. I’m always thinking I’ll use it someday. But then years go by. In fact, how many years have you been in the bedroom you are in currently? For me, 2.5 years. Yet, a few months is enough time to collect and store too many items. I can imagine for those who have lived such a longer time in their bedrooms. Do you have things longer than 5 years? 10 years? If so, what is it and why? Are they sentimental items? Or you love routine and want things to be the same? Try changing something, we’ll anything this week. See the shift, be the shift. Do something simple or do something daring. 

Just do something DIFFERENT. 

Let me know how it goes. 

Change it up. 

Work on the four corners of your bedroom in the next 2 weeks.

January 9, 2022- Saturday Declutter Crew Week 1 of January.

 Week 2 of January. 

Still wondering how to start organizing  when you don’t want to start in your bedroom or think you can’t change your behavior of messiness or being a clutter bug or even a bit hoarder -like ? 

When you go to sleep tonight. Lay down and look around. Do you see things that really don’t belong within 3 feet of your pillow? What surrounds you? What would you WANT to change? Are you comfortable where you sleep? What would a visitor think of your bedroom? How hard would it be to set an alarm for 30 minutes to change a few things?Even 15 minutes a day until it feels like it represents a sanctuary to sleep, read and dream.

What was your bedroom like as a child?  Do you recall  your earliest bedroom memory? Mine was a Princess bedroom set with every piece of furniture matching. It had a pretty canopy - Victorian like. It is so opposite of what I slept in now. 

Does your bedroom have a theme? Does it represent your style ? What would you change? What would you keep? 

This second week be intentional of doing SOMETHING different in your bedroom .

Jot down 3 things you want to change.  Then give yourself a week to do the change. If you can’t do this - what is stopping you ? 

Be intentional and focused.
