About a month or so ago, I was walking through the parking lot at work to get to my car. I was taking these nice little steps while thinking to myself… I’ll get there. Small steps will get me there. Just like I’m taking small steps to get my house done.
Then, out of nowhere, a voice said…
Yea, but you’ll get there faster if you take bigger steps.
It kind of hit me like a ton of bricks. It was one of those ah-ha moments. I’ll get to my car faster if I take bigger steps. The decluttering will get done faster if I take bigger steps. It’s so simple.
I still believe that small steps are the only way that I’m going to get through the decluttering in my house but now I stop and think for a minute. I check to see if there’s any bigger steps I can take to make it go faster. It’s been eye opening. That’s why I keep wishing for bigger numbers, in case you were wondering.
Of course you can’t throw it all away!! Who are these heinous people, Barb, and Jen???
They need to be beat with a wet noodle!!
Bigger steps, aha!! Time to circle back around to those socks, in your bedroom, then?? 😉
I also think it’s important to actually think about each item instead of a blanket “throw it all away”. It may take longer but you will be confident in your decision to get rid of it.
I agree!! It drives me crazy when people say to just throw it all away. You can’t do that!!
