Habit

How is your decluttering going?  You may see great progress or think you haven't yet made a dent.  By ridding ourselves of at least one thing a day, we're developing habits.  I remember watching the TV show Clean House for several years.  The team would go to a VERY cluttered, messy home.  Certain rooms would be emptied, the stuff sorted into keep, trash, and sell piles.  After a big yard sale, the proceeds would go toward redecorating the house.  I wondered about the follow up.  Can people with a collecting or messiness problem change in one quick week?  I think in general, no.  Developing habits of change is important to keeping our spaces neat and uncluttered.  Keep plugging away each day…you are building stamina and good habits.

    1. Tiny houses are my new hobby…just looking at them and admiring their use of all available space. My husband isn't buying my dream. :)
