Ok! I have completed the sorting phase of the Once in a Lifetime tidying of my workshop, #KonMari style (ish). I held each item and asked whether we can be good coworkers.
🎉
Y'all, that was intense. I've lived in this house for ~17 years and have slowly collected tools, consumables, and materials with a few tidying attempts here and there.
🙀
This time I sorted to the studs!
💪
I plan to knock out other work this week and then I'm on to the next phase: ✨organization✨.

One interesting aspect of #KonMari is the idea that her process is a once in a lifetime event. For some reason that idea makes it easier inside my head to allocate the time and resources needed to properly prep the house and my head.
I performed a big KonMari style discard a few years ago but I didn't followed up with her extreme tidying/storage phase where everything has a place and a put away state like shirts that have an open closet bin and are always folded.

This has been an emotionally loaded weekend for irrational reasons. I know I am unreasonably attached to stuff and have a major organizational problem which my spouse is forcing me to tackle. We’ve made great progress over the last two days: many boxes to donation shops, lots of stuff in the trash or scanned and recycled, but today we tackle my biggest challenge and biggest shame - my nominal “workbench” and electronic gear boxes. Wish me luck. #decluttering #konmari #cleaning
