To answer your question yes, we went through a major rehaul of offices. Basically I didn’t have one and all of my stuff was in boxes and I was working off a laptop. We moved and I decided that I couldn’t live that way anymore. I bought myself an L shaped desk 2 filing cabinets and set off on an organizational challenge. Now I have all my scrapbook stuff in drawers, my pens and writing pads all put away, a place for my laptop and an file for stuff for school.

The next thing I decluttered was my basement and labeled all of my plastic boxes with a label maker and could finally find all of things I had been storing for years. Actually I through out a lot of stuff I hadn’t seen in years.

Now my schedule works a lot better not having to search through boxes to look for one specific thing. I know exactly where everything is.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Agree, agree….. I feel the need to declutter frequently, and it always helps. But it might be like getting back into debt: in order for the clutter to not come back into your life, we might need to work on our priorities and get our goals straightened out. I know the clutter still keeps coming back for me, which means I have more work to do on this.

Hi! I came across this new personal finance application called moneyStrands. I have just started using it and like what I see. It helped me declutter my finances and the pain of going through all those numerous bank statements, credit card statements etc. It also give me advice on the kind of credit cards, plans etc. which would work for me, basing the analysis on my earnings and spending habits. The best part is I can also access it on my iPhone.

Great post, MBH. I think I am in the same boat-too much “stuff”, and to much “stuff going on.” I have been working lately on the physical clutter, but like you, I need to focus on some of the commitments and things I “plan” on doing but never do and just drop some of them.
