Will I Ever DeClutter?
Introduction
Good Morning to you all at the WA Family, on this very sunny, but rather cold morning here in deepest South Derbyshire, at least the winds have died down somewhat.
I have a feeling that this blog might be rather short having spent the last three days doing little more than decluttering both the computer and the office.
One thing I noticed in the paper that I was not aware of, here in the UK they charge VAT on Kindle E Books! When I used to sell hard back books in a shop that I once had, around thirty-five years ago, that was one thing that was zero-rated for VAT. Not that I sell books on Kindle - yet!! Apparently there is a move a foot to get the VAT scrapped.
The Last Three Days
As mentioned above have spent most of the time trying to get rid of the clutter on the computer. This of course has led to the odd problem. As I find things that I have forgotten about, have had to investigate what they are.
The reason is obvious, do I keep them or not? Trouble is once they are opened I sometimes have to have a little play. This has resulted in me adding numerous graphics to the graphics folder. Also had to delete a lot of items which were duplicated, has helped the hard drive a little!
Have also added a new book to my range, finding some cool articles which I can re-purpose, the title and nine chapters are installed ready for the re-vamp. Did not know that I had these, but it could be freebie.
Having said that there is a lot of stuff that I had forgotten about. Trying to go through everything is taking for ever, so had a change last night, virtually completed another article for my website.
The Office looks very little different, despite a complete black bag full of rubbish.
Have to admit that I am quite enjoying the challenge of sorting things out.
As always have visited live chat daily, good job that I do, it is keeping me sane. Have not even done any studying.
The Next Four Days
Will be trying to get rid of more clutter, and will visit live chat daily.
Think that I will attempt to get at least one article up on to the website, working on others as I do so.
Need to go back to working on the business, which will include WA, maybe even back to the video which has also been neglected recently. Certainly need to do some research and training. Seeing what I would like to do is making me quite weary. ( lol).
All joking apart whilst sorting out the clutter is important, so is getting things moving on the business front, however we will see.
Conclusion
Surprised at how much I have managed to write today, must be all the practice that we get here at WA! Having said that I certainly think that since I have been a member find that my writing has certainly improved as regards the amount of content that I now write. No longer is it a quick line and that will do.
Realise that I would like to do quite a lot in the next four days, but will take each day as it comes. What gets done, does so, what does not will have to wait a while longer.
Be Happy Healthy and Wealthy.

Hi Stuart,
Great post! I think that your article just gives the idea of making money while decluttering. So, I am going to sell stuff by getting rid of them all. On another angle, why am so attached to the mostly every item in one way or another. It seems as if I don't want to let go. I also thank you my friend for the eye-opener signal.
Thanks again for sharing with cheers!

Stuart, I will be the first to say that I know I will NEVER declutter until the day comes when I depart this earth! Every time I sell something--more comes in on the back end! Think of it as answering WA emails--there are always more right behind the ones you cleared. Keep progressing the way you are, de-clutter what you can and keep going, my friend!

I thought I was the only one but you are right by decluttering you are also finding things you have forgotten about.
That is precisely what happened to me and put me back on my road and yes writing about it makes for a real eye-opener on how you are doing in your writing.
Two years here have taught me my own capacity to create something I thought I never had. Always a Better Way
