Re: Housekeeping/Organizing - encouragement, please?
Oh, I also have really enjoyed the book The Joy of Less by Francine Jay. It walks you through organizing and decluttering room by room. When I am in moving mode, I read a lot of minimalist living blogs and books to keep me motivated and in the right headspace. Also, and in a completely different direction, I have also found watching Hoarders and reading about the thought processes behind hoarding to also be helpful in decluttering. One really good book about hoarding is Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things by Gail Steketee and Randy Frost.
For me, I have to really work on my headspace to work on my outer space and these things keep me in the zone. We moved four times, three of them multi-state moves, in three years so getting things pared down was my first order of business so I didn't have to pack that junk up!
How is it going so far?
