30 Day Speed Declutter - Day 19 - Junk Cupboard

[@sarahkeam6938]

I totally agree with having to pass over areas more than once. You are making progress, it just takes time and effort.

[@natrobb]

It really does ☺️

[@HBSVMom]

Yep me too! I've done the initial pass & made great headway. Will do another pass starting again next month. I've bee​n really pleased with the progressso far❤ @@natrobb you are doing amazing 👏 🎉😊

[@kimberlywatts3402]

You are making progress!🎉 Just doing things bit by bit and going at your own pace and comfort level is still improving! The children definitely bring ALL of the diseases home for their families!😂😂😂

[@natrobb]

Thank you. I was a bit disappointed with this one but I made up for it today! We really have had alllll the germs lately!

[@lauriedupont507]

Safety first! I think it’s great that you are cautious about small toys that are choking hazard. You’re a good mom.

[@natrobb]

Thank you ☺️

[@MickeyC321]

Good job. Sticking with it this long is a great start. As the time goes by you will start looking at what you keep with a better eye. Good job.

[@natrobb]

Yes it definitely gets a bit easier with time 👍

I take pictures of sentimental items as well. My son who's now 33 wanted very little of what I had saved for him but some things I kept are now being used by my grandson (especially books and certain toys and some baby stuff like my sons christening shawl). 2 or 3 passes are always needed. I've been decluttering for over 2 years and still this January I have got rid of 332 items so far. You do get more ruthless as you go.

[@natrobb]

Wowee you've done great so far this month ☺️ I think decluttering is never ending 🤣

[@marietadobrzyn839]

Very good work 👏

[@natrobb]

Thank you ☺️

‘‘Tis the season for respiratory viruses unfortunately. 😔 I also seem to catch anything my niece gets from school. Hope you & your family feel better soon! I think you don’t give yourself enough credit. You made a lot of progress! Here in the USA, we have dollar stores where you can get durable (desk drawer) dividers & containers that would work well to create categories in your nice wood crate.

[@natrobb]

Thank you so much for the kind comment ☺️

I moved to my partner's place mid last year and while I decluttered before the move I just did another pass and it was satisfying. Some things just need time in our lives and once that time is over decluttering them feels way easier. And there is not much logic in it - at least for me.

[@natrobb]

Yes exactly, sometimes you need just a bit more time to get your head around what goes!

Suggestion: would an expandable flatware organizer work?

[@natrobb]

Oooh I'll have to look into that 👍

[@williamhawthorne1375]

Its a good idea to put things together dont duplicate cause you think it handy there ,crayons with their drawing books pens at your desks keep one in kitchen drawer for quickness ,babies hair ties with her hairbrush etc etc find the drawer will be half empty,oh vitamins in a kitchen cupboard out of kids way,just cause they are vitamins doesnt make them safe 😕👍Lizzie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Very true yes you're right - I shall move the crayons!

[@susanrikimaru6630]

Better is good enough 👍🏻

[@natrobb]

It is though I will admit I was a bit disappointed and did have to have a word with myself!

[@runs_mornings]

Good morning, clear zipper pouches for your various categories would be ideal.

[@natrobb]

That's a good idea - I have some somewhere!
