The house is getting foundation work done next week, which means everything has to be packed and out of the house (or hidden away in the kitchen). On the whole it seems like a pretty simple task: pick things up, put them in a box.
What I really wasn’t ready for was having to admit to myself how much stuff I still own for silly reasons.
I’ve been pretty good the last few years about decluttering, but with a packing matra of ‘Will I use this in the next two weeks?’ it’s becoming apparent I own things I’m not going to use in the next two years.
Or haven’t used in the last ten.
So yeah, packing the house is turning into one of those ‘what is actually important?’ adventures.
But it’s worth it to be shaken out of ruts now and again– growth only comes from focused change, so time to get a’focusing!
