I made a little progress today. I can actually see part of the floor! However, I have SO much more to do! I have only been able to work on this room a few hours each day. I would love to have one whole day to work on it but I have other obligations.
All of the articles and books on organizing and de-cluttering say to handle a piece of paper only once. That is a concept that I have such difficulty with particularly when I am not sure what to do with it! I am constantly tearing pages out of magazines and then I have this stack that I am not sure what to do with! I am getting a little better at that but not much. Most days I must move the same piece of paper around at least five or six times! It seems like I know all (or most anyway) of the strategies but have great difficulty implementing them.
I am beginning to realize that the tone of this blog is very negative and defeatist. I don't mean for it to be that way because I am normally a very upbeat and positive person. However, I am struggling to understand myself so I may pinpoint what is causing me to be this way. I know this room will get done, but I do not want to go through this again in another month or two. The key is finding a place for everything so that everything has a place! We just finished redoing our bedroom and bath and I am confident I can keep the bedroom neat because we added more storage and I now have a place for everything!
I am trying to find a vision for this room but it hasn't come to me yet. I think I need to concentrate more and continue with my meditation (which I have been neglecting). That has been so helpful to me in the past.
