Ok. Remember that post I wrote about de-cluttering a couple of days ago? It was about how I read this article that said to take it 15 minute sessions. I tried that with the kitchen drawer, and it worked wonders and so today I decided I would try that in my art room. Hmmm, I am in the middle of an all day disaster!! I am surrounded by piles and full of ideas. Probably in a bout 15 minutes I pulled everything out, and Ive spent the rest of the day trying to organize, sort, clean, part with and put away! My motivation is coming from chai tea, Easter chocolate and the distant vision I'm getting of my soon (I hope) to be home studio! Arggh, you see the problem is, you can't pull everything out and then just walk away and its also really hard to sort thru stuff and not get lost in some sort of time warp, or time travel. Memories coming racing back along with feelings, good and/or bad and that's when the unraveling begins. I now understand that its not the actual physical time, or work of de-cluttering that puts us off, but it is the emotionally draining and purging that we really want to avoid. So stuffing our drawers, closets, and counter tops with clutter is only a metaphor. The real work of letting go of "stuff" is the reward. Ok, Sigh, break is over, I'm back at!
