My word for the year is flourish. I have noticed that I flourish more when there is less clutter around me. So I would add something about tidying/decluttering to my Venn diagram.
I’m in the middle of a 100 days of decluttering. I’ve done 100-day projects before but always drawing, so decluttering is new. It sounds like a lot but my goal is 5 minutes a day, and it can be a daily photo declutter. I am seeing the value in a slow declutter, one item at a time (although we have done a full-day declutter of our garage and there’s value in that too).
I am loving the blank spaces I’m creating on countertops, and intentionally keeping things I value. 5 minutes a day is a reasonable goal, even on hard days. I give myself permission to do a quick digital photo declutter and call it “good enough”. Taking stuff to the thrift store or getting a big pile of recycling out also counts. I see so many similarities with my slow decluttering and your Venn diagram.
Hi Anika! Thank you for sharing about your year of flourishing and your 100 days of decluttering! I feel inspired just reading your description of your own inspiration. Do you follow Brooke McAlary? She's doing a great "1%" theme this year where she's doing things for 1% of a day--it reminded me of your 5 minutes a day approach (which I love). Cheering you on as you develop your own slow decluttering process. :)

Order is a personal value for me.
