#refurbishTuesday a couple of weeks back I shared a #declutterTuesday post wherein I have cleared out this area. Well, two Sundays ago, we were able to assemble this shelf organizer to hold some of the other books that are waiting for their new home. We have since filled it in with some plushies and books.

My declutter & refurbish goal is far from over. A lot of areas still need to be worked on. The delay is caused by my lack of free time to attack the clutter. If only I had more than one day off each week. 😒😒 one step at a time.. A day at a time... Till next week! Ta-tah!

#declutterTuesday makes a comeback this week 😁😁😁 finally cleared a tiny section. The big box is out & the plastic organizer moved to where it should be. Clutter zone still exists, however. Step by step... Just keep going... Main challenge is how to get rid of some items for donations. 😒😒😒 will need to wait till Segunda Mana reopens, fingers crossed.

I hope this will be the restart. Still wishing for better days, instead of this #newabnormal. 🙄🙄🙄

Till then.. Ciao!

#DeclutterTuesday now comes the tedious & slow part of my declutter project... I'm working on actually decluttering my magazine collection. In addition, I will be working on lessening old books and learning materials. There are simply too many so I expect to take my time & work thoroughly. With enough discipline & determination, I know I will soon achieve my #2019goals of having more space around our tiny flat. I'll be sharing more updates soon... ta-tah! ^_^

#DeclutterTuesday found more items that need to be let go. Still waiting for some more stuff to be cleared out before scheduling for more Segunda Mana pick ups. I can't wait to trim down our tiny flat to items that we truly need & value in our daily lives. Indeed, less is more.

Till next update... ta-tah! ^_^

#declutterTuesday I took a video when I finished my clean up for our extension room. It truly got me excited. However, much work remains to refurbish and maintain this added wing to our bedroom. Work in progress... till next time... ta-tah! ^_^

#DeclutterTuesday It's no joke living with a hoarder. I've realized this since last year. I made a commitment then to do my best & set aside time, money, & energy to change things around me. Top photos were taken in December 2018. By April, I was not yet done with my cleaning up & clearing out operation. Thank goodness for the lenten holidays when I totally dedicated my energy in achieving this goal. I'm far from done. It's a continuous process. I've realized that tidying up is a lifestyle. You don't do it one time big time. You do it daily as it affects your surroundings & your daily life.

One thing for sure, this achievement has inspired me further to push for less stuff & clutter, and to have a place for all things that spark joy in my life. Onwards to more #2019goals. Till then... ta-tah! ^_^

#DeclutterTuesday continues. So much to accomplish, so little spare time to do it all. There's daily life & other tasks that need attention as well. >.<

At times it feels frustrating not to be able to do it all in one go. Honestly, that's physically impossible to do as I do have a regular day job. On top of that, there are daily chores as well. Rest is also important. So the way I do it, I have a schedule to do certain tasks. Right now, I have yet to fix a more routinary schedule. It's all rule of thumb for now. I know the tasks at hand; I have a list of things to do; I have a schedule for each; I do what I can or what I feel like. One thing at a time... one day at a time... soon, a place for everything & everything in its place.

One step closer as I decluttered a portion of our middle room. Soon, it will be a part of an expanded room area. Till next update... ta-tah! ^_^

#declutterTuesday one down! Two more big furniture to go... a vanity dresser and an old aparador (wardrobe closet). The dresser is ready to be taken out. We'll need to work on it during the weekend. The other one needs to emptied out completely. Seriously, being a hoarder is no fun at all! Living with one is a nightmare!!! >.<

March has come to an end. I'm afraid I was distracted by our summer getaway to Batanes. But hey, we all need a break once in a while, right? Now, it's time to get down on finishing unfinished tasks. Target for April would be to totally clear out the middle room, to have the room wall divider removed, and to rearrange our new expanded room! #2019goals #refurbishgoals

A day at a time... till next update! Ta-tah! ^_^
