Part of the results of this weekend’s work: a usable work surface. You don’t want to know what the “before” was like, except that One would have had to hazard a guess that there was a desk in the vicinity of a festering pile.
Yep, that’s a Crate and Barrel knockoff of an Eames chair, but it was less than two hundred bucks, and it’s genuinely comfortable.
I’m not going to end up on “Workplace of the Week” at Unclutterer any time soon, but it’s better than it’s been in at least a year, and that’s pretty satisfying. Not visible in the picture is my decluttered closet space, containing all the clean clothes.
I find that in order to maintain momentum on these sorts of cleaning projects, I have to enact certain rituals: a big breakfast, only certain music (it has to be albums that I am very familiar with like Hatfield and the North, or Flesh and Blood era Roxy Music, or Joan Armitrading). Coffee is a constant companion, and once the TV comes on, the spell is broken, and I can’t get going again.
Also added a bunch of podcast subscriptions this weekend. I’m trying to find some viable art ones, but haven’t come up with anything all too interesting yet.
