Day 52: Spotting Future Clutter

I fitted in a lot today: taking my girls to the dentist, going to work, running errands and then came the lovely part – having a facial and hair cut before going out with some really good friends for a meal.

My girls loaded and unloaded the dishwasher for me during the day which was a lovely surprise, and then hung up some washing without any fuss. Less for me to do this evening.

So, where did I fit in a quick bit of decluttering?

There were a couple of bags of random clutter lurking around the dining room… the usual dumping ground (must work on resolving that one!)

Future clutter if not dealt with

I can speak from experience that random items in bags can turn into future clutter. They end up taking up permanent residence ‘somewhere’ and become a list of items that no one can find.

I spent ten minutes or so returning the items to their homes. My daughter’s been asking me for two days where her glasses case is, but I didn’t come across that. However, I did come across this chocolate that I received as part of a secret Santa gift in December…

How exciting. I will look forward to that!

The bags are now empty and can be put away!

Just in time to post today’s blog.

Until tomorrow

I am a working mum and entrepreneur with a passion for writing, coaching, mentoring and inspiring others. Subjects I tend to blog about are life skills, parenting, decluttering, worklife balance, career etc. I’ve been on a decluttering mission for years creating space in my house, garden and mind. In 2020 I challenged myself to declutter every day for a whole year and write about it daily. After that success I took on a challenge to change my career from accountant to life coach, and in early 2024 set up my own company. I continue to keep up with the decluttering, and now write daily about my home life and coaching business. Have a good day!

  1. Boy, it sure is the random stuff that gets out of control quickly. Glad you had some help and the night out with friends after a facial and cut sounds delicious. Hope you enjoyed your well earned time out.
