Decluttering, Friday Edition

Today, my focus was on the desk, dining room table and paperwork.

I have finished writing my chapter for the Narrative History of Canada. A small homeschooling publishing house is looking for a writer to undertake the project and like a fool I want to do it. This is the second chapter I have written "on spec" for them, and in spite of my best efforts not to get all worked up about it, I am a mess of nerves. I've even asked the kids not to speak to me today!

So, I did two 15 minutes sessions of mad, furious, de4cluttering today.

In the first, the desk and the table directly behind it went from this:




To this:




But the real triumph was this:

Honest--15 minutes. That's it.


Yes--the dreaded paperwork!

Isn't that a pretty tray? I knew I'd enjoy getting to the bottom of it when I purchased it back in May!
