I seem to be collecting new projects this January, but not the ones I should be focusing on.
- I’m now a week into my year of blogging daily, using word limits each month, over here at x365 Take Two.
- I’ve just signed up for a photography course, as recommended by a friend. The first lesson has blown me away, and I hope the rest are as easy to understand.
- I’ve copied the lovely Indigo Bunting who did this last year, and I’ve started a project to declutter 2018 things from my house in 2018. So far, I’ve thrown away five things, which means I’m already 39 things behind schedule, but I figure there’s time. Do you think discarding a project would count towards the 2018 total, and would a x365 project count as 365 things?
- Theoretically, I’m also going to try to delete 2018 emails, but that seems futile, because they just keep coming.
I think discarding a project might count toward the goal. At one point, because it is so unlike me to start watching a short series and then abandon it, I counted deleting three unwatched episodes and the OnePass subscription to it on my list. It was not concrete, but it was taking up unnecessary space in my life!

Ooh can you please send me the link to the photography course! I haven’t posted about my 2018 goals but taking a course so I will finally get my camera onto full manual is one of them. I have been on the fence about Live, Snap, Love’s Auto to Awesome and would love to see another option.
I would get completely overwhelmed by the size of that number. Unless you have lots of old photos you can purge off of your hard drive? (I mean the ones that are meh – I have a bad habit of keeping too many from every time I take pictures, even the ones that aren’t quite right).

I want (NEED) to do the decluttering project too. I have a feeling pieces of paper alone would add up to more than 2018. Spellcheck wants to change “decluttering” to “fluttering.” I hope this isn’t a sign.

Declutter. That should be my one little word. I make a mess,, get overwhelmed, and walk away.

It’s funny. I am trying a decluttering thing too, the “minimalist game” of throwing away one item on first day of the month, 2 on the second, 3 on the third… and so on… ends up being nearly 500 objects by the end of the month if you can keep it going.
I think I got to day 5 and have forgotten about it. I’m still determined to catch up though!!!
I read that poem too, quite interesting… but I’m really not sure about the part about crying about Prince’s death, and then “un-friending” his friend for not understanding this??

Yes, it was weird, I agree. But it wasn’t the point I was making (on my other blog, in case readers are confused).

The photography course looks great–and it’s free! I like her camera recommendations. In recent years I’ve been afraid the current obsession with phones is going to drive cameras into oblivion. That would be sad.

New projects are always welcome. Will check out the photography course. Decluttering is hard for me. 🙂 All the best with everything, Mali.
