Hump Day Poll

Good day to you all on this last Wednesday of August!   We have been in the declutter mindset but many of you know I get overwhelmed by where the heck to start because of our small, less than 1000 sq ft abode.  I've gotten help from things like sliding baskets in cabinets, little things that help with space like mug stackers for mugs,  and of course little pantries to be able to stock up on stable stuff when sales roll around.   Those things help when you've got a home in mind but for me, it's how to mentally push myself to start because it all looks so untacklable.  (New word alert.)   One of the best pieces of advice I ever got on that front was from my friend who said to tackle one small section at a time.  Like, say in your kitchen - do 1/4 of the total countertop area.  If you do more than that, all the better but you don't have to do anymore than a 12" space at a time.   I've also heard setting a timer for 10 minu...

What I'm Reading This Week #29

It's Friday!  Woo hooooo!!!!  (I refuse to call it "FriYAY."  If a phrase makes me want to flick the person in the forehead who invented it, I can't in good conscience use it myself.)

Let's slide right into...

  2. I agree w/ your take on "FriYAY." It its me the same as "My bad." Are we in preschool?

    I hope you enjoy your plan free weekend. I'm sure you'll keep yourself occupied.

    I have a long to do list I've been procrastinating on and now a group of friends wants to do the Marie Kondo thing and motivate each other to get our houses cleaned. I started with my closet in the fall and still haven't put together the pieces I bought to install in the closet to help organize. So I guess that is tops on my list. Most everyone else on it is yard work which is indefinitely postponed due to the monsoon which is settling in over the Ohio Valley.

  3. With the hubs having shingles it'll be an indoor weekend for me aside from a few standard errands. I plan to work in the office and toss as much stuff as possible before my tombstone reads: Death by Paperwork

    I hope you guys can get out and about a bit and don't end up with humidity and skeeters after the rain. It rained buckets today while I shopped for the work folks...I was a drenched dog. =o)

  4. We went to a Milwaukee Brewers game on Saturday, Sunday is a car show. Yes, we are going to places that currently have fewer people than are in Oshkosh this week for EAA. However, the proposed drone show looks like it might be a fun thing to view. Hope I get to see some of it.
