Giving myself grace
You may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging. For the first time in 16 years of writing this blog, more than a month has passed since I last posted. I’m trying not to beat myself up about that.

Now I’m moving. (Which is why I haven’t been blogging.) When I cleaned out that file cabinet, I found the large stack of journals. I glanced through a few and really didn’t enjoy what I read. So I put them aside for disposal.

I used a bingo card for a few days last week and then realized that the strategy wasn’t going to be effective for my particular downsizing project.

In an effort to make downsizing as fun as possible, I’m going to start the decluttering process with a bingo board. At Bingo Baker I was able to generate bingo cards that are randomized. I created 30 areas/projects and Bingo Baker randomized them to include 25 on a bingo card.

Moving can be overwhelming and confusing. Here’s some help: HireAHelper, a clearinghouse for moving-related services, asked a dozen professional organizers for their best moving tips. The result? A robust, helpful blog post for those planning a move. I was delighted to be one of the organizers consulted.

Moving is stressful. There’s pretty much no way around it. Even if an employer is paying for the move and you have the movers pack you, there are a lot of details with which to contend and it’s a hassle. Working with a professional organizer can help, but even so, the process is stressful.

I recently coordinated a move for a client using recyclable plastic moving boxes from STL Rent A Box rather than purchasing cardboard boxes. It worked like a dream and I’ll definitely consider it for future moves.
