Kitchen
A few days ago, I posted a brainstorm about how to approach the kitchen situation: http://dehoardingdiary.youblog.net/kittychaos-b1/Kitchen-Mental-Blocks-b1-p153.htm
It was a really helpful exercise for me to do, and I am making slow but steady progress in there, based on the plans I made. Rubbish bags have been bought, clothes are making their way out of the room, and out of date items are leaving the house.
Sandy wrote an amazing entry about my post: http://organizewithsandy.blogspot.com/2009/06/work-on-it-wednesday-dehoarding-diary.html which made me happy!
I have to send you to Chaotic Kittens - Dehoarding Diary
She is awesome. She was overwhelmed when it came to her kitchen. She didn't know where to start. She had several things blocking her. Old food in the cupboards, so she didn't want to put in new food. She had too many piles of other things in the kitchen and can't get around in it. She had clothes from the laundry and bags of new food on the floor. There were so many stumbling blocks that prevented her from doing anything. Does some of that sound familiar? I bet it does. Things can get so bad that you don't know where to start...so the easiest thing is to do nothing. And then of course the mess keeps growing.
You need to read this post of hers to see how she breaks down the problem and knows what she must do to begin the process. It also becomes clear to her that the problem is workable and it became much less overwhelming once she thought through the process. Wonderful!
That is as well as her comment on my entry:
Awesome!! I love that you broke the whole process down. You took something that seemed completely overwhelming to the point that people don't do anything-and broke it down into small "do-able" portions that make sense.
Yes yes yes...please take before pictures...because then seeing the after ones will seem that much better.
I am highlighting you again today in my Work on it Wednesday Post!!
I have taken some 'before' photos, and hope that in the next week or so I can post them with some impressive 'after' ones.
