Day 4: Easy Day

Today I have cleared by handbag.  Luckily for me this is something I do about once every couple of weeks anyway so it was not too bad.  As I was doing it I realised that I didn't want to declutter anything too challenging.  Why?

Looking through our bits and pieces is about looking at our lives.  As I said a couple of days ago things are not just things they are representations of us and our lives.

I went to a funeral yesterday.  I'm tired and have started a cold.  I wasn't  in the mood for a big declutter.  An easy peasy clutter job like my handbag is about all I fancied.  I also realised that I wanted to skip a day.  I always encourage my clients to do at least ten minutes decluttering a day.  It keeps momentum going.  It works.  Even on a really bad day ten minutes is not much to ask.

Procrastination
One of the many reasons for not dealing with clutter is procrastination.  The ten minute technique helps to combat this.  It gently breaks the resistance we have towards a task.

Be kind to yourself........ but don't give in either!
