spent all day tidying up my room and going through my closet and craft cart. filled up several bags of stuff i’m not using to sell/donate/post on Buy Nothing. i also reorganized my desk drawer to make it more conducive to letter writing instead of being glorified cable storage. i love figuring out the best layout to reduce annoyance and put the stuff i (want to) use most at my fingertips. now i can see my floor again and i’m filled with peaceful anticipation of all the little crafts i hope to putter around with this year. next task: decluttering my computer desktop 🥴
i put off so many things i want/need to do and cleaning my room has been one of them. i fully swept (like moving furniture around n stuff), wiped down my bedside table and dresser, cleaned my windowsill, and even set up a diffuser. kandi bracelets and spare keychain materials in the teapot i thrifted, can tab collection in an empty pill container, mini-fridge magnets straightened out so they stop falling. everything feels so much more comfortable and pleasant, even if clutter is still piled up on my desk.
after buying a new ikea wardrobe in december, it's been half assembled and surrounded by half a dozen boxes of clothes for most of this year! now im finally assembling it and it feels fantastic.
it's just a stupid wardrobe, but this little event feels so significant. being productive rocks! i guess this is like a dopamine detox thing..
