I find it really helpful to team up with someone for 15 minute stints for doing a chore, picking things up, putting things away, cleaning, etc. If I am here we can go to the chat area or just post, whichever is easier. Even when no one is around I find that posting my goal and then my success can still work because I have it in black on white so to speak. When I get up next time (from my chair that is) I will: Put the groceries away. Other tasks I need to do are: Putting up the shower curtain including the rod and hooks. I think that is enough and maybe too much to do in one day so I am not going to stress over it and just do what I honestly can. | |

Good ideas Jan and Kara... I know it really helps me to team up too, and the music and boxing clothes items are excellent ideas too. | |

Pairing up for 15 mins. It works. At this moment I am oplaying a CD I found of zumba music. OOOOH does is make my body move whilst de-hoarding oooooh yeah. If I didn't do the 15 mins with Mare and Karl last Friday I probably would not of continued again on Sunday. Encouragement help with a friend. Helps to focus the mind on one area. Music is a plus. TRY IT. | |

It is easier to work in teams. I'd love to find someone nearby I could work with in my home. Someone to help me make decisions on what to keep and what to donate or dispose of. With clothing, I try to keep a donation box on the floor in the closet. When I buy a new blouse or slacks, I have to put one of my old clothing items in the donation box. When that box is full, I take it in and make my donation. | |
