The magic of tidying

Whoop whoop, you did it @RedHorse 🕺 The biggest achievement I see here is that you set yourself a task/goal and you achieved it. That's a massive win! Taking steps like this is how you cross the finish line when it comes to your goals, and if you have a set back that's okay because you know you can pick up where you left off.

Amazing work 😊

Hey @Former-Member @Dimity @Shaz51 @HenryX

Love @TAB 's ratio of 'putting down and picking up' ....

@RedHorse Love the sound of your food forest and off grid living. There are some fabulous things about that to inspire us all .... I have bath envy too, in that when son lives in the house I do not use it, cos it is in his bathroom and the thought that mum is "in his space" is TMI. Says he is moving out later in the year, so I can wait til then.

Today I had 'magic of tidying' bliss as shuffling around things to enable him to have music room and me to do a bit of study. Also good relfections on why I procrastinate ... hearing you about mess being a protective thing too ... I get allergic to .... too much super minimal and clean ... we need just enough for effective productivity and creativity .... in my book...lol

I hope it feels better now @RedHorse I sometimes wonder whether I do things just so I can have worry in my head, well, to cover up for whatever else isn't there .Like procrastination. thenthinking about doing task can become the task itself as you say (I think)

Got to love a good ratio @Appleblossom

Well @TAB @Appleblossom @HenryX @RedHorse my procrastination muscle is being stretched by trying to get on top of my tax. Quite a production getting on top of statements and receipts, printing at library, etc etc. It's good to have started, filing the paperwork.is actually quite soothing.

I need a working space the cat doesn't commandeer he has a habit of pushing things off desktops.

@Appleblossom we stand united in our "bathtub envy" lol

I am feeling better about my living space, thanks @TAB . I'm only doing one task each day, but it's progress none the less.

Well done on stretching that pesky procrastination muscle and getting started on your tax @Dimity.

Take care, RedHorse 🌹🐴

thats good that you feel better about it @RedHorse I'm glad that you are making your space my livable. I remembered just now, that going away helps, and when return, can see things as they really are and say who is this mad person who lives here lol

Oh @TAB seeing things "as they really are" equals high anxiety for me and a reason to avoid tradies and other visitors. It's worst when getting over the occasional eye muscle dystonias that compromise my field of vision. Realistically I know a situation that built up over years won't get resolved overnight but I live in hope.

Today I trimmed along the path (I have some herbaceous perennials that need hard winter and lighter midsummer pruning). If I want an autumn flush of roses I'll need to prune them too. And I need to clean the birdbath.

To progress my tax I'll need to unearth some missing folders. So that and the garden will be my aims this week.
