Overcrowded much?!
If you woke up tomorrow to find that the Organising Fairy had paid a visit…
…your home was magically organised and clutter-free…
…what next?
What do you wish you had room for?
If you had space…
…what would you do?
Crafting?
Entertaining?
Dancing?
Organising all the old family photos?
Maybe there’s some thing you’d like to have…
…but there’s nowhere to put it right now.
Maybe it’s not so much about what you’d do or what you’d have…
…but more about how you’d BE.
Peaceful?
Calm?
HAPPY?!
Or maybe it’s not so much about what you’d do in the actual space…
…as what having that space would ENABLE you to do out in the world.
Move home?
Get a new job?
Retire?
Get into a new relationship?
Make new friends?
Get healthy?
I can’t promise to send the Organising Fairy round…
…but I’m curious.
What would happen if s/he paid a visit?
Comment below to let me know.
hi rachel, well the organisation fairy has paid me a visit!
i have moved out of my overly cluttered disorganised one bedroom flat! complete with drug taking neigbours and just about anyone sleeping on the stairways and i am now glad to say that i have moved to a one bedroom semi bungalow in a small cul de sac.
i have my very own front and back doors to my own little garden. i got a local company to move my kitchen white goods and a few bits of furniture for £160. then i went through all my stuff.
what i wasnt keeping went in to an enclosed area outside and what i was taking went to my new place curtisy of my friends car.
it was a big task. and in all took nearly eight weeks.
the rubbish/junk was all taken away including the carpets to land fill for £170
i gave back my keys last tuesday. and i am now living in my new home.
i still have a lot of stuff and there is quite a bit in my garden! but no actual rubbish.
i feel a lot better. and am really pleased that i no longer have to go to my old flat.
it is up to me now to make the best of this opportunity. i have decided to give myself until whitsun to achieve my goal. of a home that i can be proud of and one that i can use!
that is my first task to be organised so that i am able to receive guests for tea and cake. i have invited lots of people about 20 friends! as well as my CPN and my mental health support worker.
once i have got there i need to work out some sort of rota to keep on top of my home. cleaning and generally keeping it tidy.
then i am going to try my hand at my new garden. i am having a cottage garden. hollyhocks, foxgloves, lupins, scented honeysuckle, a teasel and sunflowers. which should keep me going.
then more time to take my little dog for walks and bus rides and time to do more art and crafts. and start reading books like i see other people doing. my head wont be full of so much worry. a clear head for enjoying my life which i havent done for quite a while.
Oh wow! What an inspiring story! Thank you for sharing it. I wish you a happy home and am sure that you will achieve all your goals. You’re doing all the right things. I hope your tea and cake party goes well (I know it will). Thank you for comemnting.
If the organizing Fairy came ’round?….. I would have a dedicated spot to sew and quilt, I would have my books displayed nicely and to have easy access to re-read my favorites, ALL THE PAPER WOULD BE GONE AND ORGANIZED, the weight of all that stuff would be off my shoulders to free me up for better health management, for fun stuff, and to finally entertain again. I would get more sleep and more restful sleep as I wouldn’t stay up too late worrying about what was not finished and trying to keep going. That would be so nice.
Wow Beth, what an inspiring possibility! You have such a clear vision of what could be possible. Thank you for sharing it.
If the organizing fairy came she would make sure there was a place for everything and everything in its place, even in the garage. She would also magically let me be able to give up work instead of having to wait another two years, so that I can enjoy and relax in my organized home.
She sure would! And then what, Linda? If there was a place for everything and everything in its place, what could you do/be/have that you don’t do/be/have now?
