Wednesday Decluttering

United States
May 22, 2019 9:32am CST
I just cleaned out a drawer and a half of things I no longer use. Some of the items went to the trash while others went into a pile and I will try to sell them. I am not sure I will add anything more to that pile. I don't expect to get much out of them, but a penny gained is still a penny earned. Soon I will start to fold some things and place them in the drawer I just emptied. I may see if I can rearrange somethings and move the half drawer up one. I will soon need to see about getting a couple of new photo albums. Does anyone know if you can buy 8 x 10 photo sleeves, or will I just have get some page protectors?

I know that office, warehouse still sells them. So, you may want to try an office supply store.

I know where to get a photo album, it's just the 8x10 sleeves I am not sure on. I'll call around and see if they have any. If not, I guess I'll just use a page protector.

@whiteream I'll also do a basic search online. Funny how I didn't think about that.

@ScribbledAdNauseum That would be the best way to go about it.

I need to do that again! Especially with making room for Paisley’s stuff!

It's one of those things that you hate doing but love the result of, isn't it?

@Michellekidwell I just wish I could pay someone to Marie Kondo up my life... Well, to a certain degree. She'd better not touch my books.

I don't like doing things like that, but it sorely needs to be done..Since it is going to be quite hot this weekend..I might look to do something like that. What really needs to be organized is my walk in closet. Most of the things in there could probably be junked or donated. It is 80 percent full of stuff I no longer use. If that was organized, I would really enjoy going in there.

It's always the feeling after everything is accomplished that I like the most. Just being able to go into a newly redone room or area. I still need to work a little on the organization of this dresser. I feel certain I can get the use of two drawers if I just fix it up a bit more. I really need to re-organize another one of my drawers.

I'm not sure about photo sleeves, but it seems that you have a lot of things to do today. I'm not comfortable selling my old stuff, but you're correct a penny gained is indeed still a penny earned. Have a great day!

These are just books. It's not clothes, I donate my clothes.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I love books. If I have enough space in the house, I would collect books once again.

Somewhat productive, which I am happy for. I could do more though.

Not sure about photo sleeves, in fact I am looking for something same, but wasn't able to find one. This always the case with me, when I clean I realize half of the things are of no use to me now

I have a photo album that was my moms. It isn't quite falling a part but it appears to have been chewed on whilst in storage. I've been meaning to get a new one for some time. I also have pictures of myself (that were my moms) and do not want to keep them in their frames.

@Aansh13 It will make more room for me as well. Right now they sit in a basket that I could be otherwise using.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Understood, keeping in photo sleeves is actually a good idea

That's a job I hate - de-cluttering. Hope you manage to get something for the stuff you don't want any more.

I do not expect more than $7.00 for the whole lot, but they might also only offer a voucher to their store. I hate decluttering too but I love the result.

I'm the worst when it comes to decluttering and organizing. I start off and then get sidetracked and the task might take forever to get finished.

That's not me at all Yeah, same here. I could do a bit more but I haven't. I've gotten sidetracked. It does look better than it did before and for that I am happy.
