Felt physically sick most of the morning knowing today was declutter day. Put it off, however didn't allow myself to read fiction or watch tv. Instead I chose to read through Karen Kingston "Clear your clutter with Feng Shui" to get me in the mood. It has worked before and it has again. One of my major problems is letting go, but I feel if I allow myself to let go of everything I have that I haven't used it will be a whole lot easier. One other problems is what to do with it. There are many things I just can't throw away, including papers I feel I have to keep (sentimental pictures my kids drew etc).
I've been putting it off because I thought about ebay and getting rid of it via op shops, problem is that I never get around to either. Instead this time I've decided to get rid of it via www.freecycle.com, that way people can come to me if they are wanting something and I'll end up with considerably less to take to op shop! It will also give me the opportunity to ask for things on there if I am needing them (read the word needing there, no asking for futher things to declutter). Kind of hilarious at the moment. My mum just called and I was on speed talking with her. I'm starting to get revved up for this and I'm actually also typing insanely fast as well!
Going to go have shower so I'm all refreshed... turn on the playlist of energising songs I've just put together and get to it. For anyone else risking the do it all declutter method - I recommend that you DO NOT do it while watching TV. It doesn't work! I had 5 days a couple of years ago to get rid of everything as my kids where at their dad's. I started well, while watching the series of Smallville. Then got sucked into it and ended up watching about 3 seasons in that time while my clutter sat in front of me!!! Music Music all the way!
Wish me luck!
