Spring decluttering

2 April 2010

Spring has hit St. Louis. It’s been in the 80s this week. The fruit trees and redbuds are starting to flower. Daffodils are out. It’s fabulous.

I know for many people, the advent of spring makes them want to clean. They don’t call it Spring Cleaning for nothing. Me, I never want to clean. I hate cleaning. But spring weather does make me want to create order. Rather than cleaning, spring makes me want to declutter some storage spaces and put stuff away. (When I glance around my home I see evidence of my tendency to leave stuff out if I don’t know exactly where it should live.)

So this weekend, I’m going to to do spring decluttering. I’m going to weed out the closets and cubbies in my business’s offices. (And I’ll probably do some cleaning while I’m in there.) I have a closet in the home office upstairs that I’ll clean out as well. By weeding out my closets, I’ll make room for the stuff that’s been out in the open in recent weeks. I’m eagerly anticipating a more orderly home!

If spring decluttering resonates with you and you’d like a little support for that, you might consider enrolling in Declutter Happy Hour, the 28-day e-course that I offer with life coach Shannon Wilkinson. By the end of April, you could make a lot of progress in creating a clutter-free home!
