Making progress with bite-sized tasks

Lisbeth thinks all this updating on her attempts to sort her stuff must be really boring. I disagree. I suspect that there are hundreds of people out there who are trying to do exactly the same thing: Clear the clutter. It is for this reason that I will continue to report her progress. Also, it will act as a reminder to her that she is making progress.

Today, after the three drawers, she started on a huge pile of things that have resided under a blanket in the spare room for years. Yes Years! As usual she began putting stuff piles: to sell; to keep; to send to others etc. This time, knowing the dangers of just going through yet again and ending up with the same pile of stuff just rearranged, she decided to actually deal with items as they came up. As a result, she has written two letters and prepared two parcels for post. Each contains things from her past which needed to be returned or handed on. I think ' the girl done great' as they say.
