Are you ever like me? Do you find articles you want to read and save them? Do you save to computer hard drive? or do you print them out? or do you do both?
I have a fear of not being to find everything. I save the articles on my hard drive and I print them out. I have a pretty economical printer and paper is realitively cheap. So my problem is not so much of not saving it is finding.
My main problem is I create systems to file stuff and I have years of stuff. I forget or can't find the stuff. So I reprint or look for new things. As part of my new year starting this month I have been contemplating stuff and how it makes me feel.
I love stuff! I love my stuff! I love buying stuff! I love learning about the newest stuff! I lose stuff! I hate stuff! I feel guilty about stuff! I hate the mess the stuff makes! I hate how the mess the stuff makes and how anxious it makes me.
That is a lot of feelings on stuff.
I am working on my stuff and how it makes me feel.
So I am taking it one stuff at a time.
My first stuff category is Paper!!!!!!
Check this picture of Papers.
I have a whole movable cart with papers and stuff from the kids.
Piles of photo pictures half organized.
Scrapbooks started.
Bookshelf with Binders of saved quilt patterns.
All paper stuff.
We won't go into the scrapbook cupboard and talk about supply stuff.
I don't know if I have the answers and I don't want to go looking for more systems.
Out it all is coming from each binder. Sorted into category piles. With recycle box by my side for junk. Articles I don't want for my guild. And by the end of a couple of hours I want to downsize this mess!
I am giving myself a challenge to downsize without moving. Use it up or loose it. 30% is my goal.
When the basement is done being purged of my stuff and hubby has looked at his we are going to treat ourselves to removing a small wall, and ridding of three doors. This will open up the sewing family room to a bigger size and won't make me feel so confined! Trapped! Unable to breath! Guilty!
No pressure purging!
I will post an after picture of the the table, recycle bin and binders.
Here is to an afternoon of favourite tunes and tv and moving a mountain of paper!
Do you feel guilty about stuff?
Do you ignore it or tackle it?
Have a great day!

This is the binders, papers, loose papers I pulled from my sewing room only!

This is a shot of my kitchen table with the whole lot brought up from the basement.
