Gonna start with my master bedroom today. My goal is to finish decluttering thoroughly (every shelf, drawer, under bed) by Jan 9 , then give it a deep clean. The impetus (other than it'll feel so good and look good) is that my DD and her hubby will be coming to start the bedroom makeover as their big gift to us. I will also be going away for a few days mid-month to visit my sisters, and want to come home to a clean, orderly room.
(Well, unless my loves have started sanding off the faux-finished walls while I'm gone. Then it'll be dusty and maybe a bit chaotic with everything moved around so they can work.)
I don't know her timeline yet. She's only off on Wednesdays and weekends, and we rest on Sundays, so there's that.)
But today I'm starting on the bedroom. WHy wait till 2019? I am making a plan to declutter the whole house, room by room, area by area, space by space, in a year's time.
Today I pledge an hour of time. I've taken Before pictures and will keep myself motivated every hour with After Pictures as I go.
Wish me luck, say a prayer, cheer me on--I need every bit of encouragement I can get for the long haul .But the results will be so freeing!! I'll be out of clutter prison ! My one-year sentence starts now! (Boy, that sounds terrible. But it's one day closer to freedom!)
