Who says you have to do it all by yourself? Oh. The hoarder in you. Because the little hoarder wants to be in control. Well, tell the little hoarder to hush it and learn to delegate. Nobody says you have to delegate the sorting process. But at least stay out of other people's stuff. If they want to get rid of it, let them.
Delegate taking out the recycling, delegate dropping off things for charity. Delegate selling stuff on eBay. You can even pay a a little commission. I am sure your kids are dying to make a little money. My hope is, that by delegating jobs I will learn to give up control. My ultimate goal is to let James make decisions on stuff in the attic. Okay. Maybe not in this life. HAHAHA!
surface of the day: 1 kitchen cabinet
7 a day: a monkey, puzzle pieces, paper, paper, more paper, homework (don't ask)
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!
