Smarter
I've been debating with myself over this post. I'm not sure if I'll actually finish it, or if it will sit in "Drafts" like some others do. If you're reading it, then I published it, and you'd better be ready for some pretentious, likely-delusional self-examination. This is mostly about me, but it's something I realized while looking in that … [Read more...]
Two Second Task: Saving My Sanity
A while back, I wrote a review of the Click 'N Dig Key Finder System. I . . . love . . . my . . . key finders. But recently, one by one . . . they became possessed. Randomly beeping. Clicking. Never being quiet, even when hidden in a drawer or shoved under a pillow or banged impatiently against the table. This went on for … [Read more...]
Proud Mama of a Declutterer!
I feel like I should get a bumper sticker made. I experienced a Proud Mama Moment while cleaning my daughter's room this morning. (Not that I'm proud of cleaning her room. I'm totally un-proud that I still haven't mastered the art of getting my kids to keep their rooms clean.) (Or of keeping my own room clean . . . ) But as I … [Read more...]
Perfect. But Useless.
As I worked in the garage recently, sorting through clutter that had magically appeared . . . I found this. It was perfect, but useless. In case your kids aren't in the booster seat stage, I'll explain. This is the top portion of a booster seat for the car. When the kids first move out of a car seat, this back portion of the booster helps … [Read more...]
Two Second Task – Shutting the Pantry Door
Oh my word. I'm so excited about this two-second task. Not that it only took two seconds. But really . . . I had been putting off this TOTALLY overwhelming, TOTALLY time-consuming, TOTALLY impossible task for, ummmm, years. Like, at least four. Right. That pantry door hadn't closed in at least four years. Not that I hadn't tried to … [Read more...]
007 – Containers and Limits and How They’ll Change Your Life!
Podcast #7 is up! In this podcast, I discuss the reactions I get when others find out about my blog (which is basically when they find out about my deep, dark secret!) I also share how finally grasping the concepts of limits and containers was a huge step in my deslobification process. Other things mentioned: 28 Days to Hope … [Read more...]
Three Strikes? You’re Donated!
This shirt. This shirt. Do you hear the contempt? This shirt has been in my laundry pile THREE WEEKS IN A ROW. Clean. Ooo-hoo-hoo. I can not properly express the loathing I feel toward clean clothes found in my dirty clothes pile. It is one of my Mommy Pet Peeves. I know that I used to do it to my own mother, but really . . . … [Read more...]
One for One: A Concept that Used to Boggle My Slob Brain
As I unloaded groceries on Monday, I kept repeating to myself: One for One. This concept used to boggle my mind. I had no idea what it meant or why Organized People all nodded knowingly when it was mentioned. I now understand. I've grasped the concept. And yet I still have to chant it in my head because it's just sooo unnatural to me. I … [Read more...]
