The magic of tidying

@Dimity thank you for sharing the SIMPLE technique, I am going to write it out and stick it on my fridge.

My problem is lack of motivation and also moving back into my own home after living elsewhere for 8 years. I moved back 3 years ago and I still have furniture and boxes in my carport 😕

I have nowhere to put a lot of stuff so I have to really get serious and start getting rid of things.

I hope you get to declutter where you need to if you haven't already 😃

@ENKELI my clutter dates back many years.

At one stage I lived elsewhere for several years looking after my dad. Then there was inherited stuff.

I hope your carport is weatherproof. The floor of mine gets wet when it rains.

I sympathise with you - more stuff than space - and you do need space to sort stuff as well.

I'm trying to get back to decluttering, I was overloaded with other worries.

@Dimity no my carport is open to the elements. I've had plastic tubs deteriorate but fortunately the boxes are okay.

We sound like we're in the same circumstances so I wish you all the best in your decluttering 😊

@NatureLover I'm trying to get back on track with house and garden maintenance. There's a lot to catch up on. I'm at day 5 of at least an hour a day. I know that's pathetically little but hopefully I can rebuild.

@Dimity that amount of time is not pathetic!

You are an inspiration to me. I can barely achieve an hour a week much less a day.

Keep up that great work 👏

Thanks @ENKELI . Having responsibility for the cat makes a difference, I make an effort for him.

Not sure if it applies to you with your moves but "feeling at home" is something I never got back after moving back. It would be nice to achieve that.

@Dimity I’ve been doing maintenance too. Most of big jobs done, except replacing solar system which is being done on Jan 6th. I also want a new security door on front door and need a wired in fire alarm. Good luck with your efforts.

Day 5 of at least an hour a day is more than I've been doing! Well done, @Dimity 👏

@GezzaP I'm going to start with small jobs from a handyman. The big jobs are too daunting and expensive at the moment.

Yes expensive @Dimity . But I was able to withdraw some super. I can withdraw any amount tax free now I’m sixty. Decided to do big jobs now.
