I have discovered a new website: unclutterer.com. So far I'm really enjoying it. It has helpful tips and a bit of humor. In exploring the site I found reference to a book Unclutter Your Life in One Week by Erin R Doland, Editor-in-chief of Unclutterer.com. My reaction to the title: "Yeah, Right. Like I could really get rid of all my clutter in one week." But I did look it up on amazon. The reviews were mostly positive and the sample pages looked like they contained helpful advise. Plus I had another order to make and this book would qualify me for free shipping. So I ordered despite my doubts about it's claims.
It was then that Project Unclutter was born. I decided that instead of just scoffing at the prospect of uncluttering in a week, I would put her claims to the test. I have the first week of January off of work and I can devote that entirely to uncluttering.
Project Unclutter will come in two parts. First, I need to read the book. I'll do this between now and the end of the year. I plan on writing a review of what I find in a subsequent post. Second, I will put it to the test. I chose the week I was off, so I fully test the theory without distraction. I will let you know how it goes.
I still doubt I can completely declutter in a week, but I can at least make a dent in it. I know it's very early for a New Years resolution, but I will make mind now. Here's hoping 2012 will involve a lot less clutter. Who will join me in Project Unclutter?
