I have been trying for months to streamline, my clutter and closet down to what I actually need and use. The problem with this is that I am no minimalist, in fact I would consider myself rather extravagant. So there inlies my problem. I spent countless hours moving my belongings around to different places in my home, but nothing actually manages to leave my home. HIdden clutter.
I have googled ‘clutter solutions’ and ‘how to let go of old stuff’ but I have not found anything that is an option for me. SO i told myself, “Quit buying new and old stuff.” However shopping is kind of my hobby. I have begged friends to come over to my house and tell me what to relinquish but no one whants to help me because that is boring, even if wine is involved.
I think to myself that I’d like to get rid of everything and just start over. I work myself up to it, I can almost believe I can do it. I begin. I pick up an item evaluate its purpose and value, and I put it back down because I think “I really need that etch-a-sketch.” From then on its stuff shuffle. I move that there, and put this here and smash all of this into a drawer until all my clutter is somewhat neatly hiding from me. And then for the moment I feel a little better.
