Declutter Your Home–Part 1
February 22nd, 2008, by Shelley Riutta
I am on day two of my Massive Action project of deluttering my home to remove any blocks to manifesting all of my intentions for 2008! Shawna and her cleaning crew came on Weds. morning and did an amazing job cleaning–Mom you would be proud (my Mom reads my blog). She brought 4 young women with her and they went right to work. It was amazing to walk into my home and feel how different it already feels! Today Tammy Southwards from Peaceful Home Solutions, a professional organizer, will be coming to help me organize my business paperwork—actually she will be here in a few minutes–so I will give you an update later today!
The above is a picture of one area we will be deluttering
What needs to be decluttered in your life?
Progress Report: I had a very productive time time with Tammy this a.m. I always get so much done when I work with someone else. It was funny–I caught myself doing this very sneaky strategy–and that was when Tammy would handle me a pile to go through–we would start talking about something and I would just set the pile in another place! Do you ever do this? Moving piles around to different places, thinking you are being productive? I was able to catch myself when I started to do this and stay focused on the pile we were working on and to get through everything in it.
The insight that I had as we were working on the files in my file cabinet was that I had a lot of space taken up with files that were no longer an area of focus for me. So I was able to see that clearly and move those files out to make more space for the different presentations and workshops I am developing. It was great to see this open space in my file cabinet–I felt like I had breathing room to grow and create.
Look at what occupies your space whether it is in your file cabinet or in other areas of your home–is this where you want your energy going or do you want to make space for your current interests or for something new? I would love to hear what your insights and about any of your declutter plans!
Here is another picture of the area we worked on today. Most of what we accomplished was on the files inside–but we did do some clearing of the top of the file cabinet–we still have a ways to go.
