Mini Mission Monday is about finding ten minutes a day to declutter. To make it easy for you, each Monday I set seven declutter missions, one for each day of the week for you to follow. It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. This week we are going to remove some clutter that might be bothering someone else in some way. If you decide to take on this weeks missions be prepared for it to be confronting at times. Monday - Ask your partner/husband/roommate if there is something of yours in your shared living space that Continue reading

Lingering Clutter
posted by
Jo's story from Saturday's post brought my attention to this box of clutter sitting awaiting decision in my craft room. It has been there for a while in the ebay staging area awaiting action. Action had been taken on a couple of items and they did not sell. Some items I am not sure what to do with while others had no business being there in the first place and ought just to have been donated already. This scanner has been superseded by an all in one printer, copier, canner, fax model some time back. It had been hidden away in my son's room until we did a reshuffle in there when his new Continue reading
Cindy’s Weekly Wisdom – Disaster Preparedness
posted by
Cindy's Weekly Wisdom A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about decluttering your pantry, and one of the things I discussed was keeping food for emergencies. I commented that I live in an area that is not affected by many sudden disaster such as being snowed in, flood water, hurricanes, or tornadoes. Well God and nature decided to prove me wrong in short order. Here's one I had not considered and has suddenly been the only topic of conversation in our town: wildfires. Texas had its hottest summer ever and, in fact, was the hottest state in the United States this year. It also hasn't rained more Continue reading
Mini Mission Monday ~ All-over fridge freezer declutter
posted by
Although it is September twelve in Australia today it is September 11 in the USA, a date that will forever remain a day of tragedy and grief. I remember that day, getting up in the morning to see the horror unfold on my television screen in Seattle. I also remember not being able to drag myself of the couch in the hope that I would see the rescuers bring people alive from the wreckage of the twin towers. Alas I hoped in vain. When I finally did leave the house I remember feeling the urge to wrap my arms around every American I saw and tell them how sorry I was for what had just happened to Continue reading

Friday’s Favourite Five ~ 16Sep2011
Oh my! This weeks comments had me hitting highs and lows and I am kind of glad it's over. Here are my favourite five, they are an eclectic batch, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I received this comment from Paul (his first) which contained a link about perfectionism in business that was quite interesting. Check out the link as well because much of what it says could apply to decluttering or any walk of life. I loved reading about Snosie's attempt to declutter the leftovers in her fridge in this comment. It had such a multi-national theme. This comment is Jo's response to all the Continue reading
