I have not posted in a very long, long time.
I live in the midwest with my family. Many years ago I realized I had a problem with stuff and maintaining a clean home. I thought I could get my home taken care of within a year easily. That has not been the case. It is something I likely will always need to work on. It is much better but I really need to put more effort into it. I would like some repair people to come into the house. We need some painting, flooring at the least and it needs cleaned up. My main goal is to lessen the load so it is easier to be able to move or have our home up for sale. I have considered renting a large apartment closer to my husband's work. We could move just what we want. Get rid of the rest and get the house fixed up and for sale. My husband has 14 more months until he is vested. Ideally we would like to have some flexibility that we could move out of state. If we do not get the house in shape, it is just not an option.

Hi anna, you have a good goal, and if you have a timeline you can break things down by month or week to keep yourself motivated! Good luck with making a plan!

I've been working on a long term moving project, and I found it helpful to quantify it and then set monthly goals. Its so easy to think Oh, I've got plenty of time, but when I realized I actually only had three days per week to work on it, and started to divide boxes to go through per week, it meant ten a workday! I wasn't able to keep up with that pace, but it did give me a "bracing" reality check! (And I did get a lot done.)

welcome back Anna! have you looked for any local professional organizers or a company that helps with moves and downsizing? You could get a quote and see what help is available and how much it would be. Welcome back!
