Ally, thanks for sharing that. I’m wondering if they could help me…. Is there a fee? Also, stained glass class! Fun! Thanks doodles! I’ll let you know. Hi goldenthreads. Meditated. Stretched. Made tea. Almost put together an old drying rack. There’s still hope, but not done yet. Walked pooch. Bought light bulbs and looked for twine. No luck. Clutterers Anonymous is free. After I posted this, I did a search and realized that I posted that I called into a few meetings 5-6 years ago, and that didn't care for it too much, so maybe I prefer the meetings focused on work? clutterersanonymous.org/meetings/calendar-of-all-events/

Washed bowls and pans 11. Washed mat 12. Took out a bag of trash Bonus: Cleaned wastebasket TO DO 1. Make bed 2. Feed recycling bin 3. Make something to eat (it's nigh past brunch)

Hi, missjean . You made me realize I could put the clock change on my to-do list, not just try to remember. Made bed and took meds. Filled pill minder. Washed dishes. Shower and get dressed. Go to library and grocery store. Change clocks: microwave, oven, bathroom. Do stretches. Go for a walk. Declutter 6-10 things. Do 1 or 2 weekly cleaning tasks.

Hi WITers! Having a bit of aimless day and hope to find some focus. missjean - I was just thinking about changing my phone time and after reading your post, I just did it! And my laptop. Trying to get prepared for the loss of the hour, which always throws me way off kilter. I don't like losing that hour! Hi goldenthreads, mouseanne, Ally - great job everyone! TO DO 5 minutes clear off bed Shake quilt (so many crumbs!) Make bed

Hi all.
ta-da's: This morning I phoned into a clutterers anonymous meeting and stayed on the line for a couple of hours. The first meeting I listened to began with a reading and a time for meditation, then I listened in to a speaker's meeting and a newcomers meeting. After the first session, I got up and worked, tidying up in the kitchen, did some laundry, and some other tasks. I felt it was helpful to listen while I worked. I should have planned ahead, because I didn't have a good pocket for my phone. I prepared and ate some lunch, and then took a bit of a rest.
to-do: Check on the chickens, feed them collect the eggs, etc. More tidying in the kitchen, bathroom, and or bathrooms.

Phone meetings can be a little awkward, but I mostly just listened. I felt more motivated when I was listening to people clearing out clutter, while I cleared out my clutter.

One guess which thing I'm avoiding... (Hint: I'll be clean and presentable when I come back.) Hello, seahorse ! Thanks for the kind words, razy . Here are a couple of Jean Kerr quotes for you: The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty feeling just plain terrible.
Put more positively: Dearer to me than the evening star A Packard car A Hershey bar Or a bride in her rich adorning Dearer than any of these by far Is to lie in bed in the morning. Did stretches. Moved laundry to dryer and rack. Put away dishes. Shower and get dressed. Go to library and grocery store. Change clocks: microwave, oven, bathroom. Go for a walk. Declutter 6-10 things. Do 1 or 2 weekly cleaning tasks.
