DAY #19 - Clean up the family/living room

Nope. I tackled the bedroom closet & armoire. Oh, & put all the groceries away, (thankful hubby does grocery shopping) ate supper standing at the counter while cleaning the freezer.

Is it just me and my ADHD or does each task seem to have a trickle down effect? I am still struggling to stop cleaning & rearranging and focus on decluttering and leaving it. I guess if I am never satisfied with the final outcome, there is no FINAL outcome? Does having too much stuff offer me too many options?

Yesterday’s “cleaning” the entryway led to “cleaning” the front room led to “cleaning” the living room. (Cleaning=rearranging) I swapped the end tables from the 2 rooms, moved the sofa table into the dining room, dining room table into the front room, guest suite table into dining room, turned the kitchen table  into an island, etc. Yeah. It’s exhausting. My stuff is exhausting me. It’s filling up space but not filling up ME! It’s taking away. Taking up my time, energy & attention on “cleaning” rather than on living. Doing. Being.

Aha moment. Thank goodness I found that promoted post on Twitter or I would just continue the cycle & circle.
