intermittent productivity
my weekends have three states (with an occasional fourth):
- at home, highly productive, getting lots of things done.
- at home, cannot get self off of sofa.
- with J.
- occasionally, travelling.
it's the first two states that puzzle me. i don't know what makes one weekend productive, and another one not. it's frustrating. there's so much to do.
i did a lot today. it was very productive. large, non-perishable items left the house. small, perishable items entered it. my stereo once again produces sounds. my living room can once again be lived in. that sort of thing.
there are still boxes of things from mom's house to sort through. a few more furniture pieces that i know need to leave. then i can begin in earnest to pare down my own, original possessions to make room for J. not sure when he'll move down here, but i need to be ready when he does.
my way of working is to batch up a bunch of things that need to go. they get put in the living room, usually. then it could be weeks before i can actually get rid of them, so i live with all this crap in my space and forget that it will be easy to get rid of it once i have time.
so when a batch leaves, my house is suddenly wonderful again.
the more stuff you get rid of, the easier it gets. i like knowing something is going to a good home. i like having some breathing room in my house. i recommend it highly, if it's a procedure you're considering.
