Meanwhile, on a different mind track, I was thinking about taking on a year-long blogging project. Why? I have no idea. I have plenty of other projects on the go right now. However, I seem to do a lot of things because "it seemed like a good idea at the time." ** I did not, however, have a good idea of *what* I should blog about for a year.
Then it hits me, when we're talking one day--we should do the blog thing together. Half the work and twice the fun! Fast-forward through a few conversations and we arrive at this blog.
Although January was well underway by the time we'd finalized the plan, I knew I had already met the monthly goal. My clutter-clearing focus in January was clothing: mine, and my kids'. In tackling my own overstuffed closet I considered whether the item fit the way I liked, how long it was (adjusting for seasons) since I'd worn it, how much I liked the item, whether the thought of wearing it was a pleasant one, and whether I had more than one similar item that perhaps I liked better. Although I didn't count them, I know I culled at least one thing for each day of the month.
In addition, I did some de-cluttering in the kitchen as we were installing a new cupboard and the timing was right. It seems there are always too many things--that don't get used--in the kitchen cupboards.
I haven't decided on a February focus yet, although I've tossed some things from my office just to keep up. I think it will be either office or kitchen.
** Exhibit A: my law career.
