Moving forward

 Sold a few large items and started to box up things to keep and store for a while. 

I'm starting to see the real junk now and that even includes some stuff im packing to keep. But hopefully im not packing too much junk stuff.

I may find a new home in just a few weeks and i need to be sorted. Everything to keep will be in storage and i be left with just a suitcase of day to day living bits. 

My next step then is to git rid off everything left either sell it or give it away.

I think having a real urgent purpose dose help and to think ive lived with this clutter for years when i could have been living more free.

I really need to learn something from this so i don't clutter the new place. It has to be that old saying, if you don't use it then get rid of it. Im using that method to clear up. I don't use it or plan to use it and not worth keeping. 

Need to move out

 October 2025.

A new twist to the tail.

My landlord is selling up and i have 2 months to leave. It's a real moving day not a mock move.

I never finished the house Decluttering and i know how it feels living with stuff you can't decide or live without. But something changes mentally when you really have to move. I don't want my new place with my clutter and im packing stuff with a more focus mind. 

Im clearing the garage and wow the space is amazing. I have been storing this stuff for years thinking i do something with it but never did.

I hope to learn and document here what im feeling and pass this experience on to help others and to remind me and stay living more productive and free.

Mindset

 Yes. 

I got the cleaning brush out and cleaned the bathroom tap. I was shocked to see dirt come off from in the grove and it got me doing a deep clean. It didn't clean to well but it got me thinking. 

What if i deep clean small areas and clear away the clutter thats near it.

I be right back...

The first tap is the one i cleaned. Yer not cleaned is it and i should be embarrassed and i want to be. Anything to get myself to clean it and keep it cleaned.

3 months past.

 It's September 2025 and since my last post back in June, i haven't moved any closer to de cluttering before the end of the year.

I have been playing more piano and improving my dally routine and cleaning up day to day mess. 

I need to get back on track and clear this house up.

Ive noticed something with buying stuff. You shouldn't buy more then you need. It's a tricky one as you need to balance it out to not under buying and end up buying something useless for what you had in mind.

I was drying clothes in the space room but now i have junk in the space room to clear up the living room I now dry clothes in the living room. Och. Not as planed and i don't like sitting around my clothes drying. 

Im just going to write this open minded and saying the first thoughts that come to mind if i was to get rid off everything i dont use then im gonna read it back and reply to it.

HIGHLIGHT 

_____________

I miss it. I probably forget i had it as i can't remember everything i got and i enjoy the space more.

I be chucking money away. Yes amd selling it takes too long but i could sell it cheap to shift it and i would have to re buy it if i ever need it again. 

I think i need to sort what i want to keep first. I would have less to think about if i got rid of the things i know i dont need first.

___________

Few days have passed and after reading the above I can see im not very clear on my thoughts on cleaning up. That's a problem with me. My mind is a mess and i live in a mess. I need to work on myself and have a clear mind. Im at a blank right now but i have what i said in mind. In my next post i will write how I have delt with this problem. See you there. All i can say to myself at this point is, keep on going and writing it down and we will crack this way of life and be clutter free.

Moving Day 2

 The days are titled on the day count i actually do anything and not actually repeating a next day. 

I started moving some stuff back to the living room. I had in mind to create 3 piles. But now i think it isn't such a good idea.

When there's this much stuff it cant be that easy. 

I thinking now to pack what i actually want to keep and just leave a few things out that i need right now.

Ok, let me think a bit more ... 

Moving Day 1

 It's almost 12pm here in the uk. The sun is shining and it gets extremely hot.

My mock move date is 11th July 2025.

A lovely bedsit with a shared living room and kitchen and the dogs aloud and my son will have he's own room there too.

The house im in has to be all cleared up and cleaned ready to hand over the keys to our great landlady.  

Where do i start.

Still writing.....

Moving.

 Well ive did a lot and got here. Slightly less stuff around but nowhere near done.

We're not moving but there will be a time that we have to. On that day i would have to do my best to clear the house and take what i can. I can imagine the stress it will be but time would be up and hard choices made.

The house will look bear and all cleaned ready to hand over the keys.

Imagining i have to move to a bedsit (my bedroom) i would have to pack and organise to fit it in but not all of it would. 

My new plan is to do that. My bedroom as the bedsit and time to pack. 

I try and stick to daily reports on here but i think i will have to go through the role play of this actually happening. 

Back to square one.

 Today. March 2025 and yep, my place is a mess.

If ive learnt anything it's that a plan doesn't work, especially when you're doing it all yourself.

I think I will just go and get some paint and start decorating and moving stuff out the way as needed and not put it back. Big strong rubbish bag and use the boxes for temporary storage.

New plan coming up.
