Last night I finished decluttering my bedside. What’s there?
-
Box 1: my medications, allergy masks, wrist guards, and prescription glasses.
-
Box 2: massage pads and such for relaxation
-
Box 3: small electronics such as digital video camera, mp3 player, nintendo ds system, ear phones
-
Box 4: a handful of “office supplies” which probably shouldn’t be in the bedroom, special pens/pencils, my best calculator, a stuffed animal Richard gave me, some memorabilia, and *sigh* yes, some snack foods (hard candy, gum, and skittles….whatever lasts a while and not quickly chewed up and swallowed).
-
tissue box, garbage can
-
phone, laptop, cell phone charger, pinhole glasses
-
“control journal” (aka FlyLady Control Journal… an organizer containing phone numbers & addresses, bills, checkbook, cash, daily/weekly/monthly checklists, etc)
-
Box 5: I had hoped to not have this box there, but it seems to be a necessity at the moment. It’s basically a box that has my current project in it, whatever book(s) I’m reading currently, whatever papers/printouts I’m working with currently, and my daily to do lists etc.
It’s nice having the leg room now. And it’s nice walking into the bedroom and feeling/seeing that area cleared up. And it’s nice waking up in the morning and not having to worry about knocking things over. And it’s more soothing when I go to bed at night. Like I said though, I probably shouldn’t have that project box in here. But currently the living room has a bunch of Manta’s boxes and empty boxes. I don’t want to lose these project items, nor have them damaged while I move things around out there. So for now, this is a good place. But eventually I’ll have to see about keeping this box in the living room to reduce working on the bed and under poor lighting.
