Ten Percent
A new year has begun. Time to set new goals, deadlines, and tasks.
I would like to declare enthusiastically that I have decided to declutter my house by 50%.
Or maybe I could state with confidence that I'm going to pare down my belongings by 25%.
But the reality is that I'm going to (fingers crossed) set a goal of shoveling 10% of stuff out of my house in 2021.
You would think that after the three extra people that lived here in 2020, along with their belongings moved out that I would feel as if my house is empty and roomy. Just the opposite has occurred. I feel like my house just has too much stuff in it.
So I'm starting with the really hard stuff. Books and crafts. In January I hope to reduce my library by 10%. I'm also hoping to reduce my craft supplies, primarily cross-stitch patterns, by 10%.
Will I be successful? Who knows. But I'll give it my best try. I know the day is coming in the next five - ten years when we will be ready to downsize. When that day arrives I don't want to have to face the daunting task of deciding what will move with us and what has to go. So I want to get an early start on it.
And I'm going to get right on it... tomorrow.
