I got hit with procrastination followed by paralysis of too much to tackle. This is how bad my place is.. I spent four solid hours in the basement yesterday yet when I went down to continue today, I was struck with just how many avenues that still had to be looked after. I piddled around all day on the Internet and TV sitcoms, followed by a visit to the nieces, then followed by pizza and tv football. I began to tackle it around 9:30 pm..a little too late. When I finally got around to it, I couldn't decide what to go after and I ran back up. However, I got a good mental picture of what every room was like. I went into my nearly clean living room with a pad and pen and sat down to think it over. I decided to tackle a carpet side project.
When I bought the foreclosure, the carpet was in ruins so I bought new carpet about four years ago. As usual, there were leftovers so I stored them downstairs with everything else. I grabbed a razor knife (yes, I knew where it was!) and got to work on cutting up the carpet to pieces I can use in different rooms downstairs. After carving out three useful pieces, I tossed the rest and this cleared up a lot of space. Seeing that extra space encouraged me to clean further, and I am very close to getting my exercise room cleaned out. I can't say how strange it is to look in there and see how open it is. I hope to get a lot of use out of it when I complete the task today.
Still much more to do, but I'm tackling it piece by piece.
