The idea is that in my spare time I will only focus on decluttering. There a several reasons why this is a good idea. It will:
* help my Be Clutter Free business and my clients
* give me the totally decluttered home that I want
* enable me to have lots to write about in my decluttering blog
The most important thing
Clutter is not just about things - if I go through the whole house it will bring up a lot of 'stuff' which will be useful. You clear not just your things but your emotions. Decluttering helps you to create new and better systems. Streamlined systems are useful for scanners - they help you to get on with what you really want to do.
How and what I do around the theme is totally optional and depends on what I feel like doing. This will be the part that appeals to me as a scanner. There are no limits, as long as its about decluttering.
Last night I was going to carry on reading Edward de Bono's Thinking Course (great fellow who has great ideas that I try and implement - if only he wasn't so hard to read). Then I realised I was already breaking my own rules. Here I was choosing to read something in my spare time that was nothing to do with decluttering. Instead I took my iphone and looked at other decluttering webisites and blogs. This is a great idea - to provide useful resources for my clients and to give me inspiration too.
I am a bit scared. I've been decluttering my desk this morning and I feel quite tired - when I think about relaxing I think about doing something different than decluttering. This is interesting. I suppose that change not only gives the brain a boost but also a rest.
In the past my decluttering antics have been about spurts of activity. If I'm doing only this for a month then it does not have to be about manic activity to 'get it done.' I can please myself. Nice.
