Unfuck Your Habitat

somekindofbecca:

So, I’m going to start trying to blog more of these, in the hopes that it makes me actually do some proper unfucking.

The first three before/afters are from last weekend. I was sat on Tumblr while I waited for a tart to finish baking when I saw your weekend challenge to take one 20/10 and go sort out the floordrobe/over-flowing laundry hamper situation. Now I don’t normally do the proper challenges, but I checked the timer on the oven and I had 20 minutes left, so I thought fuck it, it’s a start.

Then the final two pictures are from today. I’d been feeling pretty crappy all day from a depressed lack of energy and period pains (thanks womb!), but I wanted to do something to make the day worth while. The top of my dresser had been in that state for probably about two years now. It was a tangled mess of fuckery that I had been ignoring for a long time, so it made quite a neat self-contained project. It took most of the afternoon to sort out, although I didn’t do proper 20/10s or 45/15s but rather just tidied until I felt a natural pause then took a break and chilled out on the bed until I felt ready to go again.

There’s still stuff there that doesn’t belong, stuff that should be put away in drawers, but I need to unfuck the drawers before that can happen. I also want to get rid of the jewellery box I have and replace it with an open stand because I know from years of experience that I will both not put anything back in there after wearing it, and that I won’t wear anything that’s in there because it’s hidden and I forget it exists. An open stand will solve both those problems, but the box will do for now.
