Do fear and anxiety create certain types of thoughts, or is
it the other way around?
I sometimes wake up thinking about all the
material possessions that will have to be dealt with when I die; the undeserved
load it will be on someone if I don’t “take care of business” beforehand. I
think about getting started putting those affairs in order and getting rid of all the possessions I
can live without. I then feel burdened and afraid I won’t have the energy or
time to do it all.
It’s a good thing I have something to grin at first thing
every morning when I look into the bathroom mirror at my hair sticking up in
all kinds of wild conglomerations.
FlyLady. Took me 9 months to go through every cupboard and drawer and shelf in the house. 15 minutes a day, on the timer, with a few occasional couple of hours.No loafing, that gives too much time to say the dreaded "I might need this someday". And she goes through on a schedule, one week kitchen, etc.
ReplyDeleteSince then I believe I've downsized my stuff by half. Changes your life whether you mean it to or not
FlyLady has great practical suggestions for everything! Thanks for the reminder.
DeleteI am a regular de-clutter. And now that I'm sharing a tiny house with three more people than I bought it for, it's become even more important.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to need to be done not only consciously, but every damn day! Honestly sometimes when I'm home it seems like I am picking things up and putting them away constantly.
