Catch Up Day
Another tip from Stephanie Roberts
Tip #121
Set aside one day a week to be your official "catch-up
day." Don't work on current projects or start anything new,
just catch up on whatever hasn't been dealt with since last
week, including clearing off any clutter that's accumulated
on your desk. You might even start your catch-up day by
catching up on sleep if you need to.
Happy clutter-clearing,
Stephanie Roberts

Wise Words
Tip #115
In the initial excitement of clutter-clearing it's easy to
overlook getting enough rest and drinking lots of water,
but these are important, too. Remember that you are
stirring up a lot of long-dormant energy, and this will
affect your energy as well. If you have trouble falling
asleep, do some gentle stretching or yoga or take a hot
bath by candlelight with soothing music on low, before
going to be. Drinking lots of water is important when you
do any kind of cleansing work, whether that's on your body
or your space. Washing your hands and face frequently will
help, too.

More tips!
Tip #113
Emotionally laden, long-standing clutter -- such as boxes
of stuff from your dear departed Mom's house -- can be very
hard to deal with. There's a reason all those boxes have
been sitting untouched in the attic for so long! The
heavier the emotionally weight of stuff, the more likely it
is to sit in one place year after year after year.
The first step to tackling this difficult stuff is to
literally get it unstuck by picking it up and moving it --
one box at a time -- to a different area of the house.
Bring one box down from the attic, and put it in one a room
where the energy is lively and active, such as the living
room. Sit down and go through just that one box. Take
everything out, and throw the box away.
Even if most of that stuff goes back into storage, get rid
of that musty, dusty old box and start fresh. Take as long
as you need to go through every item from that box, one at
a time, and make a decision about it.
