I only wish my dining room table was still this "uncluttered". Right now, the whole apartment (including the table) is filled with clutter. But how did it happen? And, how can I eliminate the clutter?

Before Covid, the clutter in my apartment was being kept to a manageable level. The bi-weekly (then monthly) visit by my cleaning lady gave me the incentive to keep this place neat enough for her to come in on a regular basis. However, the pandemic got in the way of everything, and I no longer bothered trying to keep the place "neat". (With what was going on in my life then, as mentioned in my former blog, I was too depressed to bother keeping the place neat.) Now that I am feeling much better about life, and have a solid relationship with a new girlfriend, it's still hard to get this place in order. I no longer have the energy to do much of anything without some assistance.
Over the past year or so, I have been donating bags of clothes I no longer wear to charity. God knows how many bags I've already donated. But now, things have slowed down a bit. Yet, I have much more to get rid of, and RQS will help me prune things some more. I'm a bit embarrassed to have people come into this place, and I will have to make room for an electrician to work on every outlet. We have aluminum wiring on our 15a circuits, and they need to make sure that the proper connectors are being used, so that we don't have an electrical fire. I'm going to be quite busy soon!
With all the effort I'm likely to make, I expect one important thing to come of all of this - a less cluttered apartment. Let's hope that I can keep it that way.
