Sewing March | The rules

My new challenge/experiment will be about... Sewing!

I like to sew and I even have a tiny Etsy shop, but since I started this new job I haven't sewn at all. The thing is, I feel like this job sucks most of my energy (and will power). Everything else now requires more conscious effort - like exercising, sewing, decluttering, etc.

So this challenge will be simple: I must work on a sewing project for at least 15 minutes each day. The exceptions will be those few days in which, for some valid reason, I can't really do it.

My first project will be to work on a very simple blouse I started last summer. It's really simple because it's the first piece of clothing that I try to do!

This time, instead of writing here everyday, I'll write only every other day.

See you on Thursday, then!

Decluttering February | Challenge complete - day 27

Even though February still has one more day, I will consider my decluttering challenge complete today. I don't know what else to declutter - I believe that's a sign that I'm done with this (for now).

Everything in my home is less cluttered and much more in order than it was before. Even though sometimes it was hard to declutter (yes, even for just 15 minutes - especially when I was feeling very tired), I'm happy I did this. I'm now at peace with each cabinet and drawer in my home. And with my digital folders!

I plan to do this regularly, in the future. It's amazing how much you can tackle in just 10-15 minutes. So this strategy is definitively a must keep.

Tomorrow I'll reveal my next challenge/experiment.

See you then!

Decluttering February | Digital clutter - day 26

I've already cleared more than 150 GB in my external disk. Yay!

February is coming to an end, and I haven't decided what my next experiment will be... I have several ideas - I'll let you know which one I'll chose until the end of this month.

Bye bye!

Decluttering February | Digital clutter - day 25

Another very productive digital decluttering session.

Bye bye.

Decluttering February | Digital clutter - day 24

Today I cleared a lot of space in my external disk.

This digital decluttering makes me find old pictures and videos that I had forgotten about. It's making me nostalgic! ;P

Decluttering February | Didn't do it

Today I worked until later and so I didn't declutter. That's OK, because lately I've been decluttering for longer periods than the minimum 15 minutes.

And now I shall sleep.

Bye bye.

Decluttering February | Digital clutter - day 22

To anyone who may be reading this: I'm sorry, this blog has likely been terribly boring this month. Since I'm using it mainly as a way to (briefly) journal my experience this year, I haven't been very careful with creating engaging posts. I hope you understand my main goal here... Doing this in a blog format helps to motivate me - I feel like someone is 'watching', so I must be good and persist on my experiments! And, of course, maybe someone may find some inspiration in what I'm doing - which is also a nice motivator.

Anyway, this has been another day of digital decluttering. But I may be reaching the limit to what I can delete from my ancient laptop. Which means that I'll be soon tackling my external disk.

Bye bye!
