SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

The ALL-YEAR-ROUND job of DECLUTTERING and CLEANING our homes is daunting. Especially for those of us who HOARD, or struggle with depression, and decisions, anxiety & other MI. I'm so challenged in this way so reaching out for support. Maybe start an Declutterers Army 💪

Your progress is encouraging to the rest of us @Former-Member, and has been for a long time, probably more than you realise, because compliments in your home environment weren’t forthcoming often .... and that can make them hard to believe .... but here they are genuine.

You’re doing a fantastic job of things, with a lot of handicaps besides.

Next on my decluttering agenda is to get rid of some more books. I did sell some a while back. Might have another go at doing that; otherwise give them to charity.

I do have a bookcase with some of my favourites in there. More of a decorator item than something I go to and choose one to read these days.

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

After being away for almost 3 and a half weeks I am faced with cleaning up plus I still need to unpack from moving into my house. most of my furniture has arrived so now it's a case of unpacking into the furniture and reassessing if I need more.

The whole task is daunting and it's caused me such exhaustion that for all my good intentions yesterday i just fell asleep.

Hi @Awpgirl ..... 👋

How was the snowboarding ?

Just do 10mins work at a time. When you feel up to it, do another10 mins.

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

@Faith-and-Hope Snowboarding was amazing thank you.

I think I need to get over the huge fatigue I'm experiencing. I have come home to a huge list of time critical tasks and can't seem to find anyone who can help.

At the moment I can barely make dinner for my boys and have a shower.

Needless to say I am choosing to avoid placing myself under undue pressure.
