I've planned this big declutter project for my home in 2006. The idea is to end up with less "stuff", better thought out storage and a cleaner, tidier, nicer place to live.
I've started out with my eldest son's room (began just before Christmas) with five minutes a day of clearing out drawers, tidying up and making sure everything has homes. As this is the tidiest it'll ever be, I thought I'd take a photo!
Some of the available features that make it good choice to go for a storage facility are as follows. kingarthurwestvalley.com/contact-us/
Today has been a horrible day. My parents came down to do some more to the mass tidy and declutter we're currently doing to my house - and the children have misbehaved ALL day!
At one point we put them in the car, left my Dad doing jobs and went for a drive in the hope that a small nap might help. We drove to Castle Cary where I took some photos with my Mum's camera - which I promptly forgot to get off her.
The nap did not help! I distracted them for a little while by making these chocolate rice crispy cakes but it didn't last long and right up until bedtime they've been naughty (and they're still awake now being little sods)
Sam update - 58 days til he's home! :)
Maybe the fruit doesn't belong there, but I have nowhere else to put it. (have no dining table). It's the only surface I have in my tiny apartment kitchen.
Nearing the home stretch, 48, 49, 50, and 51. Nearing the home stretch, I find 3 broken fold up chairs in the coat closet and a broken sled in the yard, I know it wasn't in the closet, but it counts because that's where it came from.

I have several pics of our girl Zoey Lu that I need to declutter from my files,so I'll be posting nothing but Zoey over the nest week or so. Hope you don't get too sick of seeing her.
Her story goes like this.
I had wanted a Sphynx from the first time I'd seen a photo of one in a magazine about fifteen years ago. In 2007 I began searching for a breeder,and found a nice lady who had previously bred Persians,but had fallen in love with the Sphynx breed. She put us on a list for a kitten,who was born in May 2007. Lee was sceptical about having a bald cat,but it took about five minutes for him to fall in love with all of them ! At the time our oldest Son was diagnosed with cancer. I was praying for life for my Son,and the name Zoey means life,so that's why the name,Zoey ..for life,and Lu because her original name was Lucy. She came home with us in October when she was five months old. She slept under my chin every night. Unfortunately I developed an irritation in my eyes,and thought I was alergic to Zoey. Reluctantly we took her back to the breeder . My eyes cleared up,and I wanted to try bringing her home again. Alas,while she was back my eyes became irritated again,so back to the breeder Zoey went again ! I went to my eye doctor,and he gave me meds for the eyes,and they got better again. Once again,we missed Zoey so much,I begged the lady to let us try once more with Zoey. As they say..the third time is the charm !
She's been with us three years this month,and we love her to bits ! She has never met a stranger she doesn't like. She's very lovable..but also quite demanding ! She needs extra warmth which we supply ,and she must have regular baths,which she hates !
The Sphynx cat is described as being"part monkey,part dog,part child,and part cat."
They may not be your cup of tea,but they are wonderful pets !
Oh,and yes our Son had surgery and treatment for cancer,and is cancer free at this time..thank God !!
My colleagues got me this bar 20 years ago when I resigned from my position. As we have started to declutter I thought about perhaps selling it. So I checked the brand and it is made by Zoffoli in Italy. One simply does not sell anything that is made in Italy. So this one is a keeper.
An old pair of heavy cotton jogging pants and PJs. Now why would someone wear cotton jogging pants now, and the waistband is also bad. Notice the large rip in the PJs leg.
There were a few reasons why I needed/wanted to get out for a drive yesterday, 30 January 2019. I am wondering if the fact that I have had house mice is having an ill effect on my health. I have spent so much time the last few weeks, trying to declutter and get rid of a lot of stuff, and I'm not sure if I have disturbed the mouse spray and been breathing it in. You can't vacuum when you've had mice, so I haven't been doing that, but you still disturb things when sorting and moving belongings. I always have a cough - for years, and they couldn't find out the cause - but it has been worse recently. Anyway, I thought I would get out into the fresh air for a few hours today. Also, the forecast was for clouds and I thought this might be easier to drive in. The sun recently has been so glaringly bright and it affects my eyes. Note to self - must get my eyes checked sometime this year!
So, on this cloudy, low-light day, I made my way east of the city, hoping to maybe see an owl of some sort. I quickly checked to see if any Short-eared Owls were to be seen, though I knew it was probably too early in the day for them to be out. No sign of one at all. Time to drive a few back roads in case there was a Snowy Owl in sight. Some of the roads I travelled were ones that I hadn't driven before, which was good for me. Though I have been east of the city many times over the years, I have still only driven a few of the roads myself. I was fortunate to find two Snowy Owls; first a beautiful, streaked female, and then on a different road, a handsome male who flew off when I was still half a mile down the road.
There was still time to go back to look for a Short-eared Owl and this time, there were several of them. Most of the time, they were either flying far away or landing in the middle of a huge field. However, at the end, one did land on a post and stayed there for quite some time. Awkward to photograph, though, when there are other cars and photographers. I couldn't see anything at first, as there were two cars in front of me. In the end, I got out of my car and carefully stood between the two vehicles - couldn't see well around the first car and couldn't move out any further otherwise I would have blocked a friend's long lens behind me. I suspected that my photos were blurry because of the front car and for my last few photos, I moved around and stood away from the heat rising from the vehicle. That made a difference - now I have several somewhat sharper images, and an awful lot of blurry shots to delete. Sigh .... They really are cute little owls.
A young relative of one of the landowners came across the field and I had quite a long, interesting talk with him. He wondered what all the cars in the area were doing and I explained about the owls and that we were all birders/photographers. He said his grandmother was so worried and stressed out - quite afraid. I told him that I am always concerned when photographers do this, as I know it must make some landowners nervous (understandably, with the crime rate in rural areas), and told him to please apologize to his grandma, and to also reassure her that we are all good, harmless people, interested only in trying to get photos of the owls.
Another reason to get out yesterday was that we are about to have a drastic change in our weather! For weeks now, we have been enjoying much milder winter weather, but on Sunday, 3 February, the forecast is for a high of -22C (windchill -31C). A high of -24C for Monday.
Found some water bomb balls stashed in the closet. No one will notice them gone. Just counting these as 1.
First in the batch, paint stained old sweat pants. Never wear them, not sure why I even kept them. Gone!

I went to the Parham Steam Rally this afternoon. This one had been placed nicely in the shade with a tree behind to help declutter the scene.
I tried to declutter/sort out my creative space ONCE AGAIN LOL. This photo shows a good part of my inspiration / WIPs wall. Wooden clothespin are "sticked" to the wall with BlueTack. And the string is knotted to the doors. No hole. (we rent) (Jan. 24th 2009)
From the moment you make the decision to move, one glance around the house weighs down your high spirits with stress. Having to #pack everything the right way and load it onto the van to deliver it to the new location is a daunting task. To add to your dismay, there’s a lot more that goes down behind the scenes than just this. Planning, setting dates, hiring a reputable moving company, and getting cheap moving boxes that do the job right without coming apart in transit are all tasks that need to be managed responsibly. It seems anyone with time constraints would lose confidence in successfully relocating (without undertaking some intense labor). But luckily, you can actually help reduce your stress level and simplify your complex moving process by just following a few basic tips and suggestions.
Here’s what to do if you’re planning on changing homes:
Planning Part 1: Set Your Budget
The primary reason the word moving has a #connotation of #stress is because you find it overwhelming. So, the solution lies in simplifying the complexity of moving processes. You do this by getting yourself a planner to cover all aspects of your home. First, set the budget. How much can you spend on moving out of your home? Calculate your total moving costs by creating a budget plan. The priority is to minimize expenditure as much as you can without compromising on safety and quality of the services you receive. Technically, the less stuff you have the less you'll pay for shifting. So, declutter your house by getting rid of any items that you no longer need. You can do this by donating, selling or giving them away. In the process of sorting through your stuff, you’ll be able to organize them as well. Plus, if you aren’t expecting any important mail on your current address, get right to updating your address.
2. Planning Part 2: Choose a Moving Company
Once the budget is set, speak to a hiring company that has a good reputation and can be readily available for pick up in your area. Having your finalized possessions in clear view, you can easily provide accurate information to get quotes from various companies. The best way to go about this is by speaking to a number of reputable companies on the phone or by using an online moving cost estimator. Once you have an idea about quote estimates, you can arrange for them to survey your home to provide you with accurate costs. Discuss the services you need and ditch the ones that you don’t, this will bring down the costs. You can create a draft of questions you have for the movers to compare answers and costs when you quietly sit down. Choose the date that is most convenient for you to move out. Research and investigate carefully all the companies you consult for home surveys. Seeking reviews and recommendation from personal friends or family is more recommended as it cuts down on the chances of choosing fraudulent companies. You can thoroughly check out the moving companies by viewing their credentials on the U.S. Department of Transportation (#USDOT number), or check their memberships at the American Moving and Storage Association (#AMSA) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Hiring a reputable moving can save you from unexpected encounters and theft. You should carefully inspect the company’s review website before sealing the deal. Also, bear in mind that if a home moving quote is too low to be true, then it may be a red flag. In such cases, make sure to walk away and not take any risks. It is wise to utilize and explore every avenue of information in matters that involve your home security. Also, inquire about any hidden charges from the company you’re dealing with. Sometimes moving companies have unnecessary charges prescribed for unforeseeable things such as extra charges for boxes with large dimensions. So, gather all the information needed before you move on to the next thing on the list, which is getting packing supplies.
3. Planning Part 3: Get Packing Supplies
Survey your home and decide which type of #movingboxes are needed and how many. Write down the size, dimensions and quantity. Assemble all your packing essentials such as duct tape or packing tape, bubble wrap, cardboard boxes and packing peanuts. You can even gain some tips from packing books. To prevent any damage in transit pack your fragile items with expert tips, follow it by packing the valuable items by minimizing their risk of being stolen. Don’t forget to check with your movers the items that can and cannot board their moving vans. Due to some policies regarding health and safety, there are prohibitions in place that forbid transporting certain items. Label all your boxes, as this will help you easily unpack the stuff you need first. Also, mark in bold the labels “fragile” and “handle with care”, this will even serve as a reminder for your own self.
On the day of your moving, wake up fresh with minimum stress and worries. With everything under perfect management and control, you’ll let out a sigh of relief. Make sure you haven’t left anything to the last minute. Keep your “open me first” box close by so it doesn’t end up with the movers. Put in your phone chargers, devices and anything that you will need at hand during transit.
If you own any pets, send them over to a loved one to be taken care of until you’ve set foot in your new home. This will keep them safe and free of stress, as animals may not adapt to changes just as readily. Welcome your moving team with a warm gesture and offer them something refreshing, like a drink or so. This will help them start off fresh and upbeat.
Keep yourself calm and steady. Moving out and saying your final goodbyes to your home can be an emotional experience. Try to make the best out of your last day, by reinforcing positivity in yourself.
Show appreciation to the moving team, as #movers perform intense tasks throughout the day. Keep spare change on yourself to be able to tip them. Also, leave a positive review for them if they’ve managed to satisfy you. In case, you did not receive a pleasant service, express your dismay so the company can learn and resolve the issue by improving their services.
The keynote speaker, Dr. Christiana Bratiotis, a cognitive therapist specialist on hoarders gave updates on hoarding research.
Confirmed for me that depression is co-occuring with hoarding, but it is not known whether this is a result of the clutter and resulting isolation or a cause. Social phobia is also co-occuring thus it is hard for hoarders to accept help from those set up to help them. She didn't mention organizers at all (see my notes under UCSF Research for why that might be.) There is also post traumatic stress syndrome and substance abuse.
Where once hoarding was considered an OCD thing, now they are finding that there is not that much overlap. Just as many hoarders suffer from ADHD with distraction getting them off task. The benefit of being OCD is that the person is more likely to realize that they have a problem with clutter whereas non-OCD hoarders stop seeing the stuff as clutter and so are perceived by family as being willfully disobedient.
Treatment program described included weekly office visits to a therapist, and in-home visits to help declutter. Also patients were taken to places where they would normally pick-up stuff and they practiced not picking up stuff. Family consultations were also offered as was a clean-out of the home with trained therapeutic team.
There was a high response on the part of the clients who went through this 6 month to a year long program. It made them feel they were getting better. It was also a good treatment for depression since the client had to get out of bed, get dressed and actually break their isolation. Plus having people, especially cheerful undergrads visit them in their homes helped socialize them. The home visits were crucial. Reading books on hoarding helped very little. Support groups were also crucial to help reduce the stigma and social phobia. Mutual aid of the group instilled hope and motivation.
There is not empirical evidence that deprivation i.e. The Great Depression had anything to do with creating hoarders. However a personal loss like a miscarriage, a death in the family, being raped etc. was much more likely to have an impact.
Also of interest was the age when the hoarding emerged which was quite young, highest in middle school age, followed by high school. However, it is not considered a real problem for seeking of treatment until middle age to elderly. The problem just gets worse with age and the treatment gets less result with older patients.
And finally hoarding is only an issue in cultures where private ownership of property is important. In cultures where there is only communal ownership of property there is no incidence of hoarding. A very interesting comment on the pathology of private ownership.
Tables here were color coded so that those who did not want to be caught on camera would know where to sit. Hoarders in attendance may be in the closet, perhaps.
It's day 29, which means there's only 1 day left in my 30 Day challenge. Today I tackled the Desk, which always seems messy and cluttered no matter how many times I clean it. But on the way home from work today, I stopped at Staples and picked up some cute organizer boxes (yes, I caved to the Martha Stewart collection, but it's so CUTE!!!) then came home and made a once-and-for-all effort to Declutter my Desk. And I did it!!!! All the usual little random bits and pieces and papers and miscellaneous things are finally neatly stored into appropriate boxes, and the boxes have LIDS so even though the contents might be random, they still look neat. And I downsized the pen jar to something that's a little more visible, then re-homed a bunch of stuff that really shouldn't live on the Desk. End result: my Desk actually finally feels very streamlined and organized.

The story is gonna be a long one.Please bear with me.
As almost every thursday, for the past few months, I've participated in the Utata.org "Thursday Walk" project.This thursday I decided to pay the birth village of my late father and consequently, my grandparents, a visit.After roaming around on the few streets of this small village (which lies in the province of Antwerp, Belgium, and is called "Hingene") and having taken some shots, it started to rain.I went for a coffee in a brown pub and waited for the rain to end or at least diminish slightly.It got dryer again and I packed up my camerabag and decided to hit the streets again.I didn't have much hope of shooting anything decent any more and was in fact heading back to my mountainbike.Now the village has some quaint little (uninhabited, or so I thought ) houses that date back maybe 150 years and on one of these little houses the door was open and I saw two people, an elderly man and woman, doing things inside this house.The man noticed me from inside and I said hello and asked him what they where doing.I asked the man if he was from this village or was born here and mentioned that my late father was also from this village and the man had known my late father well.In fact, they had gone out (partying) together when they where both young men (somewhere in the mid-fifties I presume) So the man came to know that I was in fact the son of my father and we started talking.The man's younger brother, age 55, had just passed away and he and his girlfriend where busy clearing out the little house where the departed brother had lived all his life.He (the departed brother of 55) had, I found out, had once lived there with a woman ( she to had previously, a couple of years before, been found dead in the house) that was well known in our community for her weirdness and awkwardness ; the woman's name was "Zotte Betty" (translated as "Crazy Betty" ) and one of her sons.The son of Betty, the crazy woman, had lived with the brother till the day they found him dead.
At that point I had to just ask if I could take some photos of the inside.This had to be a one time opportunity.A once in a lifetime chance.I appologized several times if I was being impolite or intruding ( after all, this man's younger brother had just died ! ) but the man and his girlfriend saw no objections.So I stepped through the little door and was immediatly struck by the ackwardnes of the place.How in earth people could have lived in such circomstances was beyond me.It most resembled the home of some horder who never in his live decluttered !
I will save you a detailed description of the state the place was in ; look at the photos and let your mind do the work.
On the other hand, the house was full of memories of a man who must have lived the live of a recluse and now his things, his memories where about to be thrown away, to dissapear.
The more I photographed the interior, the wallpaper with this frail golden color, the odd trinkets and old objects, the more the man and his girlfriend became at their ease and they let me share their thoughts and insights in the life of their brother( in law).The woman even let me take a couple of shots where she was on inspite of her being very wary in the beginning.
I am deeply indebted to these people who have let me in in their personal lives whilst in the midst of a beriefment.
I express my gratitude.
These photos where taken with love.Be so kind as to threat them that way.

Keeping your house clean can be a challenging task, and this is especially true if you have a busy work schedule. Have you ever arrived at home tired, only to be overwhelmed by piled dirty laundry and dishes? Have you ever found yourself choosing to turn on Netflix instead of trying to figure out how you’ll get the whole house cleaned? You’re not the first one that is feeling this struggle.
The reality is, you don’t have to dread coming home to three hours of cleaning to have a tidy house. You’ve likely heard some of these ideas before, but they’re worth repeating (and certainly worth a try).
Here are some steps you can follow keep your house clean even with a busy work schedule:
Clean for 15 Minutes
Especially if you’re the type who will sooner do no cleaning at all when you’re overwhelmed with a mess, this is an excellent way to begin keeping your house tidy (or getting it there in the first place!).
Instead of looking at everything that needs to be done, give yourself 15 minutes to focus on one room or project. Set a timer for yourself and get started. You may be surprised how much you can get done within this time. When the timer goes off, you can be done (even if you are not completely done cleaning the area you chose). Continue this each day, and you may have a clean house in just a few days. More than likely, you do have 15 minutes to spare even with a busy work schedule.
Schedule Out Tasks
Speaking of schedules, ever considered making one for cleaning tasks that need to happen weekly, but not every day? Instead of spending a big chunk of time on your day off, make a schedule to include things like these in your 15 minute cleaning time slots:
Monday: Vacuum
Wednesday: dust furniture
Friday: Sweep and mop hard floors
Split Your Laundry into Several Days
Instead of trying to do all your laundry in one day, try splitting it up into a few days. You probably don’t have time on some days for three loads, but you might find that you have time to finish one. Put in a load as soon as you get home so that it’s going while you make and eat dinner. Fold laundry while you catch up on your favorite show. Try to make sure you completely finish it (including putting it away) to keep things from piling up.
Change Your Habits
It’s easy to talk but so much harder to do. It’s true. However, it may be much easier to begin incorporating some of the following tips when you simply realize that doing them immediately takes just a few minutes.
Make Your Bed as Soon as You Get Out
I have thought to myself many times that I didn’t have time to make my bed. And I believed it. That is until I started pushing myself to make it right when I got up. I had to laugh. It doesn’t actually take that long to make a bed…three minutes maybe? And it is amazing how much cleaner a room feels when the bed is made.
Rehang Clothes or Immediately Toss Them in the Hamper
This is another clean-as-you-go idea, and it does not take long at all. What if, instead of dropping your clothes on the floor as you change or tossing them on your bed, you would take that same energy and immediately hang up things you can wear again or place dirty clothes in a hamper? Keep a clothing hamper in your closet, and this will go even faster.
Use a Shower Cleaner After Each Shower
There are a number of shower cleaners out there that you can spray on right after a shower and then wipe off in minutes. Think about the time you’ll save when it comes to having to deep clean, and you’ll appreciate stepping into a clean shower every day.
Wipe Down Your Bathroom in 5 Minutes Before Bed
While getting ready to go to bed, do a quick clean up in your bathroom. Brush your teeth while any disinfectants or toilet bowl cleaners are doing their work. Wipe down the sink and toilet with disinfectant wipes (keep these handy under the sink or somewhere in your bathroom).
Put Dishes in the Dishwasher Right Away
Instead of just putting your dishes in the sink, rinse them immediately and stick them in the dishwasher. This can save you scrubbing later, too! Then when the dishwasher is full, you can run it. You won’t be coming to an overwhelming pile waiting for your attention.
Put Things Where They Belong
You remember that time you spent an hour organizing an area or room? What if I told you that you could keep that area organized? Well, you can with just a minute or two of your time. It’s easy to come into the house and put your things on the table or a chair. Putting out just a little more effort, you could place things where they actually belong and save yourself from the overwhelming mess later.
Deal with Mail Immediately
If this is possible, take care of your mail immediately instead of throwing it on the counter or table. Take a few minutes to toss out catalogs and junk mail you don’t need. Pay bills or place them in a designated mail spot where you won’t forget about them (other than your table).
Fluff Couch Pillows When You Get Up
Instead of leaving the couch a rumpled mess, fluff and arrange pillows as needed when you are done sitting there. Neatly refold any blankets and put them back in their place.
Do a 10-minute Fridge Cleanout on Garbage Night
Set yourself a phone reminder to do a quick old-food cleanout from your fridge the night before the garbage is taken away. Make sure you take out the trash so you don’t forget it in the house the next day.
Cleaning Tips That Will Save You in the Long Run
Of course, not every house-cleaning task can be finished in 5 to 15 minutes. Keeping your house clean often means setting aside long periods of time to really get a project done well (Spring cleaning, for example!). But if you do set aside time to do the following suggestions, you’ll find it easier to do your shorter cleaning times later.
Create a Place for Everything
Okay, a few times I said something about putting things where they belong. But what if you have things that don’t really belong anywhere? You may need to do some organizing and buy some baskets, storage cubes, or other storage pieces that will help create a spot for those things that tend to pile up in odd places.
Declutter
Maybe you don’t have time for this on a workday, but it will likely save you time in workdays to come. Why try to find a place for things you don’t use or need? Get rid of them to save space. Your home will feel much more organized and tidy.
That’s just a few tips on what you can do to keep your house clean even with a busy schedule. Hopefully, we’ve been able to get you a few steps closer to the clean house you wish for when you get home. Happy cleaning!

As part of the VRF Decluttering Group, this is the first area I will take on. It may not look so bad (I mean, clean off the couch and there ya' go!) but the real challenge for me will be keeping in decluttered for when guests come by. And having to make instant decisions and deal with stuff immediately.
A bunch of old shorts and pants. Five pairs of old shorts and a pair of jeans to be exact. Good start to filling the trash bag.

Did a sketch in the office to distress. As I was sketching, my mind went calm immediately. Oh no, I need to declutter - there are piles of students' work on the floor, stack of files on the left side of the desk and my pottery stuff on the 'round meeting table' not to mention materials such as rattan, big and small twigs, plastics, bottles and found objects!
