Well, since I’m not moving yet… 😏
I need to allow myself a creative project “overflow” binder. I have to make sure these projects and notes are digitized. I’m almost out of paper space and was stressed. Then, it dawned on me… I’m not leaving until June. 😁 Now, I shall rest!

Today I cut the very last of the paperwork in half.
I won’t lie… it was tough! Luckily, I had already gotten all of my crying out the first few days in. I made it through with dry eyes. 🥴 Today was the sentimental stuff. The photos of my childhood, then of my children’s. I threw out a pile of obituaries, awards, old ID’s, and mementos.…

Seriously Tansy, Why?
Why do you have so many different versions of the same books? Text, audio (online & CD, oh seriously… are those cassette tapes?) and Kindle! 😁😏🤷♀️…. don’t forget about Nook! 😉

I look like hell, but… Mission accomplished!
I have my paper load down to 19 small-ish books, (10) 3-ring binders, and 1 small file box. Now… everything else, goes into the trash! Why I had binders and folders of decades worth of environmental case law… no clue?

Oh gosh…
lol, I found more old D&D manuals with writing all over them. Why I was using numerology and a D&D manual over a decade ago? Apparently, I was choosing a “power-name” for the character. 🤦♀️

80/20
4 hours into the paperwork decluttering session… I’m exhausted and used part of my hours of sleep. I feel a 100 years lighter though. Well, no… maybe a few hundred? Some of that stuff was ancient and not in English! 😏Seriously, there was a lot of Latin! There were also many… many… many hieroglyphics! I…

Tonight’s task is painful!
I’m gutting my four drawer file cabinet down to 8-10 hanging files. I’m not really sure why I’ve kept dragging around my rough to final drafts since (well… waaaay to long). I never use any of the materials because everything is online. It seems a bit redundant; and I am NOT lugging it across the…

I’m trying to balance cutting my belongings in half with organizing my digital archives.
Today I was debating what old textbooks were the most important. I set them aside for awhile to switch gears. Then sat to put in another 20 minutes towards the digital clutter. I opened an old thumb drive from my undergrad days… Oh, it was an answer to what was bothering me. I don’t have…

Oh gosh,
Was going through my collections of work… and found entire presentations with audio. (I guess I can read scripts!) They’ve sat in storage for years! They’re not too bad either. They were made around the time I was in a wheelchair. My voice is froggy, but I was in so much pain. Good job, old…
