I've been looking around the house lately and it seems like everywhere there is clutter.  Where did all this stuff come from?  I'll admit, I'm not that great of a housekeeper, but things just seem to pile up on their own.  And that makes for a more stressful home.  I love having a clean and well kept house.  I feel more at ease and able to focus on the things I need to do.  So my goal this week is to attack some of this clutter.  I'm also doing a garage sale with a friend in a couple weeks, so perhaps that will spur me on as well.

So what's the plan?  I think the simplest plan is to take it in small chunks.  If I try to do it all at once it gets overwhelming and then often doesn't get all done.  So I'm going to start with one room at a time, my bedroom being first.  If that's decluttered, it will be the easiest to maintain as well since the kids don't keep a lot of their stuff in here.

I cleaned out the closet a couple weeks ago, but I know there are still clothes in there that can be given away.  My dresser needs some attention, and I have a pile of books on the floor that I've been meaning to get rid of.  So that's my goal tomorrow.  I'll try that and see how it goes.
