Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
I deleted old files off computer (work timesheets), decluttered computer a little bit.
I'm forever deleting spam emails from my inbox (up to 20 per day), plus old emails that are not current anymore.
If I didn't clear emails frequently, I would have 200 spam emails in my inbox in just a few weeks - as I did when I came out of hospital (after 16 days in).
I've thrown out some old brochures & council Tip vouchers (not current anymore).

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Thanks @Former-Member & @Shaz51 Appreciated.
Doesn't seem like much (just small).
If I don't congratulate myself on the small decluttering efforts, I lose heart - & never get to the bigger projects (stuff).

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
It doesn't matter how small, every step is progress.
Small steps = doable, not taxing.
The secret is consistent effort.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Been a good week on the home maintenance front. Plumber has been and fixed the problems identified on the building report we had done pre-house purchase and the new garden shed has been installed.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Hot weather = need to stay indoors and out the heat
Stuck indoors = opportunity to declutter
Self care = not overdoing things.
Gentle encouragement to deal with just one thing today that is not too taxing such as
- a small repair job
- an item you no longer need
- putting away an item
- do something that will help you be a little more organised
Small steps here - over the last few days
- found an item I had been wanting to send a friend, now packaged ready for posting,
- containerised our USB sticks,
- got the ice trays out, washed them, filled them and they are now in use.
- Put bottles of water in the fridge.
- Mr Darcy helped too by vacuuming the living areas
