Ok, I got out my trusty spray water bottle, I started with a little squirt on their hiney when they played on the table, now I merely need to move toward it and they are gone, I have noticed today that they are very seldom there in the first place anymore.
I also ditched the draping doily, too much temptation! The smaller one looks nicer anyway, a silver lining!
I got rid of the knick knacks, I loved the fountain and the angels, they had special meaning to me, but the cats broke them - grrrr! I will fix them and put them some where else. I like the table clear. There goes that word again.
I have found in the past week of clutter search and destroy that I cannot believe how much easier things are with out the clutter to deal with!
And I cannot believe that it has taken me this long to really get serious about it.
No more moving piles for me except for out the door!
I can’t say even such a small area was especially easy, but it wasn’t un doable and the end result is much better than it was.
A roaring success for the “Better Than It Was Challenge”.
ACTION TIP
Do you want to try it? Just pick your spot!
After you’ve done this, you will have a target in mind, something to focus on and you will find that when you have a few moments, you will go pick away at it. If you set a deadline, it will go even faster, just make it doable and realistic.
If it goes a little slower than you would like, don’t sweat it, just as long as it is going, you’ll get there!
