Houston Clutter Coaching August Meetup
At the August meetup, we’ll check in on the project we introduced in July: “Blenders and Peelers and Whisks, Oh My! Decluttering the Kitchen.” Come tell the group about your progress and we’ll share hints about how to keep making progress.
We’ll also introduce our focus for September: “Deep Storage—Forgotten Is Not the Same as Gone.” We’ll talk about the resourceful places that people hide their excess stuff—storage units, parents’ houses, second homes, backyard sheds, attics, basements, and so on. These stashes aren’t a real solution to your clutter problem, and they come at a cost: the time, money, and effort of warehousing a big heap of deferred decisions. We’ll unpack ways to get the deep-storage monkey off your back.
As usual, we’ll also open the floor to your questions, success stories, and tales of trouble spots.
We’ll have refreshments, and don’t forget the drawing for a door prize or two! (You must be present to win.)

sort the remaining magazines by month, regardless of the year of print (the oldest one I found was 1992 and let's just say Martha Stewart looked a lot younger). Each month, I will look at the magazines from that month, from all years. If I don't look at them that month, I will get rid of them. It's a start.

Kudos to you for divesting 3 boxes! That is a BIG first step. And it's good to have a plan to keep going through the rest. Sounds like you created a method that works for you. Great job! I hope you can come share with the group how its going at the Sept meetup. We're cheering for you!!

Well, I got into my deep storage, which is my attic, and got out 6 boxes of very fine :) magazines. I got rid of 3 boxes. The other 3 are too fine to get rid of...... at this time. What I decided to do is to (read next post)....
