A Quick Fix
Declutter activity for today:
Find at least five items that are broken, chipped, in some sort of disrepair, that deep down you truly know you are never going to fix, and throw them in the trash.
This could include ratty towels, chipped dishes, coffee mugs with the handles broken off, broken children’s toys, pantyhose with runs, paperback books with the cover ripped off, broken lamps or chairs, old musty curtains, costume jewelry with missing gemstones, anything that you are holding onto for nostalgic reasons, or that you keep telling yourself “I will get around to fixing it someday.”
Don’t guilt trip yourself. Don’t “should” yourself. Just release it. Get rid of at least five items so you can free up that emotional and physical space. This should take less than five minutes. Do it for you!
That’s it. Now let’s get on to the fun stuff in our day!

I collect broken stuff and make it into art. But lately I have been doing a lot more collecting than creating. I think this might be why my art room is so terrifying to go into. It must be time to get started on my next “crucifixion” piece.
Back then I was thinking about an art piece that could hang on the wall… now I’m thinking more like an actual wall… a marvelously creative (in my fantasy) wall of broken stuff that somehow looks really cool and interesting… and doubles as a cool fence for my property (I have a lot of broken shit… LOL)… Stuff like this is so much easier to think about than to actually do…
