WHAT I’M READING

THE LATEST ON INSTAGRAM

I love throw pillows. At one point a decade ago, I had enough of them to stretch across my entire couch twice. (We actually moved them to sit down.) I have decluttered them over the years, but when I packed up our old house in March, I still couldn’t bear to get rid of a last few, despite that they have seen much better days. Now that I am in the new house, I realize that I am keeping them for no reason other than sentiment. They are old, mostly flat, and probably dirtier than I would like. And they don’t even match my decor anymore! So they are leaving. I do still have a few throw pillows, particularly the big IKEA pillow I use for napping on the couch and another I use for lumbar support in my big chair. So today, take a look at your throw pillows and decide whether you really need them. And if you are keeping them, consider whether you need to clean them. 🙂

Back to decluttering . . . and that “procrasticlutter” I talked about last week. (Thanks to the book Decluttering at the Speed of Life for that term—love it, love the book!) Today, do the laundry. All of it. Then put it all away. And not in a pile or basket on your couch or bed either. In the drawers or closets where they should go. (Then come back tomorrow, when you’ll get to see the first four items I had to keep when we left our old house on March 10th but have already thrown in the yard sale/donate stack at our new house.)

I mentioned “procrasticlutter” yesterday, when I suggested doing the dishes. Laundry is a natural next step to clear that clutter. Today, let’s take a step before doing the laundry and weed out those clothes and towels that have holes and fraying or are permanently stained. Then tomorrow perhaps you can do less laundry!

Day 2 of decluttering! I mentioned a while back that I have been reading Decluttering at the Speed of Life. In the book, Dana White talks about “procrasticlutter”—you know, those dishes and that laundry that may even be clean, but need to be put away. Sometimes when clutter has taken over, such small steps can help you gain control and give you motivation to move forward. So today, spend some time washing—and putting away—all the dishes. (Make sure you get all the dishes, including the ones in the living room and under your teenager’s bed. 😉)

As I mentioned yesterday on my blog, I am starting a month (or more?) of decluttering challenges today. For day 1, I suggest going around your house and recycling or throwing away garbage. In my household, this means throwing away the candy wrappers that my preschooler piled up on Easter and the random pieces of garbage my husband left on various tables, counters, and other surfaces. For a former client, this step meant recycling the dozens of two-liter soda bottles his late wife had amassed before her death. Regardless of what your story is, walk around your house and see if there is anything that needs to go in the recycling or garbage, and get rid of it if you can. Then make a plan to walk around once daily from here forward and do the same to keep anything from piling up again.

As I mentioned yesterday, I bought just a few items when I went to IKEA. To begin with, I bought two of the plastic shopping bag holders—one for the plastic bags I haven’t remembered to take to the recycling bin at Lidl and one to hold either wrapping paper or vinyl for my Silhouette Cameo. I also bought small buckets to store my preschooler’s pencils, crayons, and markers in a repurposed basket on the dining/homeschooling table. The goal is to have a home for everything!
