What am I up to now?
Well, one thing is definite: these past four (4) years have felt like everything (my experiences, my mood, my outlook on life) has been added to a blender and put on “purée”.
I’m at a point where my home is cluttered.
This seems to be a cycle with me – but now I’m sick of de-cluttering and I want this to be the last time in this life that I have to do a major purge.
I’m learning exactly how to do this.
I began last week with cleaning off my desk.
I watched a free video on YouTube. Then, I did the desk cleaning.
Now every time I walk into the room where my desk is (which I am now referring to as my “office”, even though it is technically a closet), I smile!
The best part of this “system” (if you want to call it that) is this:
Each time I de-clutter, it only takes ten (10) minutes. And it works for me!
I don’t even want to describe the chaos that was my office, especially my desk – because it was embarrassing. I know everyone has their own messes in their living spaces, but this one really takes the cake. Now, however, my desk is the oasis of calm in the middle of the storm!
Today, the inspiration moved me to clean out ONE (1) of THREE (3) slots in my organizer bin. I loved the result so much, that I actually snapped a picture of the cleared out bin… two more slots, and it will look gorgeous!
The coolest thing that has happened since I cleared off my desk is this:
I know where I want to take my life now. I have a newly defined direction.
This was eluding me. And because it kept eluding me, I was aggravated and frustrated… with myself!
I feel way more calm in multiple facets of my life, and both my inner and outer environments. Nifty!
Hopefully, this shift will heal some health issues I’ve been experiencing. It feels better, so I would love my body to follow that trend.
I have two more bins to clear out and then I want to clear out the basket under my printer. Once these are all done, that will equate to almost a 25% clearing of this mess of an office – and I will officially have a bonafide oasis of calm to call “command central”. WOOT!
Onward and forward…. Stay Tuned! 🙂
