An evening tidy-up should only take about 10 minutes every night before bed time. The claim is that it will relax you before bed time and it's easier to do a little every night. When I got home last night I was prepared to "tidy-up" before bed time. I did a quick survey and realized my sweet boyfriend vacuumed and cleaned the counters in the bathroom. I thought, "Oh no what am I going to tidy-up?" Needless to say I didn't tidy anything up. I got a night off I suppose. I still followed the "one-minute rule" and will tidy-up tonight (I will have to figure out what though). Can you imagine I actually want to tidy-up but was faced with such a road block (sarcasm) Sheesh!
I have added Peter Walsh's, It's All Too Much to my reading. His book dives into how to clean up clutter in the home. Emotional attachment to things once given them and are keepsakes (yet they are collecting dust in the basement). Other things like an old rusty bike in the garage that was used as a young child to hold onto those memories of the past. Peter explains that this clutter is only taking up room. If it's not being used there is no need for it. Once you are able to detach then you will be happier because you will have more room for new possibilities in your life. Thanks Peter!
