Sigh. Not enough places to have on display and readily accessible books, rocks, and knickknacks. Abraham Lincoln and the cat are not impressed. The snakes are openly laughing. This is the problem downsizing over the years.

I have divested 3 glass display cabinets so my extensive rocks/minerals/fossils and crystals collection is still in disarray and partly still boxed up. I’m down to 2 tall bookcases so I’ve only got my favorite books out, favorite history books, favorite rocks and geology books and my favorite cookbooks out but there are still 6 boxes of books I just can’t give up but…they are in the garage.

Woe is me. Sniff. Got to snug up my britches, drink some more liquid Resolve and Fortitude and start divesting again. “With a knick-knack paddywhack” even. #Books #Clutter #Bookcase #Cookbooks #KnickKnack

Clutter

Gardener, gloves off, with his callouses laid bare.
A shed with old tools and a ladder up to nowhere.

How To Let Go Of Sentimental Clutter When You're Downsizing

Dusted off the home office shredder, and started in on old boxes of bills, credit card statements, and the assorted paper detritus us #genX folks religiously saved and filled.

Dude, I'm literally finding two decade old paperwork.

Nobody needs to save and curate this stuff.

#SilentSunday

I finally was able to dig out my garage to have enough space for some woodworking, it was a lot of cleaning and planning not cutting, hence a rather a silent Sunday. There's a long way to go, but horizontal surfaces and the floor can be seen now and that's an embarrassing and exciting milestone. Feels good to be back in the "shop"!

A Dot a Day Keeps the Clutter Away — Scott Lawson

The simplest organization system I've tried is a sheet of colored dot stickers. It's also the best.
