Not a whole lot of progress today but I think I have most of my scrapbooking materials filed. Still looking for that vision of how the room should be. Tomorrow I need to conquer my computer desk.
I realized today why I spend so much time in that room - it's the warmest room in the house and I am always cold. The weather is getting cooler! Because I spend so much time in there, I have so many more opportunities to create clutter.
Some things I know for sure: 1) I must find a logical and convenient place for the materials I frequently use and 2) I must put things away when I am finished for the day!
Here is another confession (that's good for the soul, right?): I am a chronic procrastinator. Have been so long as I can remember. However, I know that I can conquer that because I turned over a new leaf when I got to college and forced myself not to procrastinate so I know it can be done.
When I was reading books on clutter, I had to analyze how I dealt with paperwork and I realized that I am the type that has to have everything out so I can see it. That made for a very messy desk! I don't really think that is a bad thing if only I would put away at the end of the day. I was always afraid to do so because for me "out of sight is out of mind." I know there has to be a compromise in there somewhere.
I only have a few more days to work on this room before we leave for the east coast. Then when I return, I have two days to get ready for my scrapbooking retreat. There is no way I can be ready unless I have a place to work and I have all of my materials ready. The pressure is on!
