The Friday Five: Time for a Declutter?
1) What's the most cluttered spot in your home?
Apart from the attic, quite possibly the surface around the laptop I'm using; full of things I took out and didn't put away, or that I've promised to lend to others, which I just left out because I need to be able to see them to remember that I mean to give them on to someone, and there are some marbles - because I lost a few and want to remember to scour the floor for them. Fruit bowl, and little bowls of "organised mess" too.
2) What's your method for decluttering?
I don't have much of a method - I usually try to sort things into piles, it starts off with "throw" and "keep" piles, but then I end up with different piles for "attic", and "filing cabinet", divided by subject, and then it gets confusing.
3) What are your favorite cleaning products?
Bleach and toilet cleaner are the ones I find myself needing most, so maybe those.
4) What helps get you motivated to clean up?
Knowing that I've got fussy family members about to visit always helps, I suppose.
5) What's the most organized spot in your home?
Umm - I'm not sure I have one; probably my bookcases; I am obsessed with ordering the books by subject and author, even segueing similar topics into one another.
