I am planning of spending one hour each week.Today I started with paper clutter,which included old receipts and old magazines.
I kept wondering why I have kept all those old hotel bills and electricity bills.
Anyway,though I have not completed the task,already I feel better.
So Tuesdays are decluttering days for me.Not the whole day,but just one hour.
How was your Monday?

@JudyEv That sure is a very good policy.I might try that.But I too do not buy many things these days.

@silvermist I read somewhere that every time you buy something you should throw something out. I might try doing that for a while - not that I buy much.

I am a retired person. But others who work or study come to visit me on Sundays, especially my grandsons. Do you think I will ignore them and de-clutter my home?

Monday was busy with Ramayanam, lol. After office I had rushed to a friend's home as they fixed it at 7pm and it ended up at 9.45 pm with first chapter alone. Many friends were there and dinner was arranged. Reached home back at 10. 30 pm. Hectic but enjoyed.

My house has dust, but you won't find cluttter! I don't like anything just laying useless! I open and take care of the mail when it arrives. As they say, touch a piece of paper once!

The rule touch-a-piece-of -paper-once,is good.But it may not work for every body.

I like you idea of one hour a week to declutter. It's doable and not overwhelming. I should apply your idea to my bedroom closet which is a mess. I like your picture on your post LOL

I had learned lessons from spending full days for this task and failing.

I love the lady in the picture above. She is very entertaining. People have posted her a lot on facebook. It is not an easy task to get rid of things after they have piled up and not remembering why you kept them is very normal. I know you will get it done and it can be very overwhelming, but, it will happen. It is not easy work to decide what to do with things that have accumulated. My Monday turned out to be very good, but, now it is Wednesday and grocery shopping and nothing to prepare for our Sabbath because this Sabbath I will be fasting all day because of our Day of Atonement,

What you say is absolutely right. About your Sabbath,does the fasting last one full day from 29?

Hi Starlight, After I lit candles on Friday night to bring in the holiday that is when we start fasting. The fast ended after 7 last night. I usually go to bed before the fast is over and if do not get up then finish my fast the next morning when I get up. I got up instead at 7:40 pm and drank and ate something and back to bed again. Thank you for asking.
