The dyes were not too bad really but time had moved on and now I use gallon containers for the dye rather than 1l bottles. A stock take of the box revealed old paper towels, some empty bottles and other bits and pieces. Now that the old bottles are gone, there is room for some of the gallon containers in the box and therefore more space in the cupboard...
Flushed with success after only 30 seconds, I spied another box in my textile workshop that continues to bug me. Miscellaneous. Having replaced a white plastic bag with a clear one, I can now see at a glance what is inside. Some bits and bobs have been re-homed or offered for sale and it all now fits in the box. A total of two minutes and I am off for a cup of tea.
A few days into this and the sixty second de-clutters have achieved more already than a day-long tidy and sort session. And the total time spent is probably no more than ten minutes. It is a powerful tool that somehow gets around resistance. Probably because your brain thinks a minute is painless and not scary...
It's a funny thing, because we have kept on top of clutter and had a 'one in one out' policy for years, but it seems to creep in during the night. having a home based business doesn't help. Nor does being too busy to focus on home stuff. So this year, the focus is changing to more home based time to garden, look after our house and just hang out.
