Week 1 - De-Clutter Support Group

We began our meeting with an icebreaker.  Each attendee was given a blank piece of paper and with their eyes closed, I read instructions.  After all of the instructions were read and each piece of paper was held up - no two came out alike.  The point I was making is that each of us sees and hears things differently.  That is okay.  Everyone's organizing style is different.



After the icebreaker, we each took turns telling our story.  There were tears, laughter and many of us shared similar stories. 

After the introductions we discussed the topics for the first group which were getting started and procrastination.  These two topics were very interesting to my 6 attendees.  We discussed how to get started, scheduling, organizing, getting stuck, organizing products and finally procrastination.

Finally, each attendee was paired up with a de-clutter buddy, contact information was exchanged and they were to contact each other during the week to discuss the homework.  Their homework was to decide on a room or a space to de-clutter & organize, schedule time to work on that room or space and to work at least 1/2 hour.

Next week, the topic will be the psychology behind clutter.
