I think part of the problem last fall was that I could only do short projects; and even then, I would likely get interrupted at some point. Instead of 3.5 hours each day, I now have approximately 7 hours. This allows for errands, laundry, dishes, meals, and all that other normal stuff, PLUS the re-organization that this house desperately needs. For the first time that spring garbage---I mean, garage---sale actually looks do-able!
Today I reclaimed part of the living room and filled a large box with an assortment of toys, clothes, and books to sell. That may not sound like much, but I'm just getting started and "slow and steady...." ---you know.
I'm going to keep at this room until it's done, then go on to the kitchen, etc. I am organizing and cleaning as I go; using the four-box method right now. If you don't know what that is, I can explain some other time. I found a great website on home organization with articles about de-cluttering and home storage ideas. Once I reach the boys' rooms, I will need to do some assessments of available storage space and probably rearrange some things.
And, yes, I am still making it a priority to take good care of myself and my family. The house has always come in second to these. That is why it needs a major overhaul.
This is part of what I've done. Yes, the sofa is broken. It's going to go soon. Go to the dump, probably.
