this is someone else (who is not me)
goofing off to celebrate one holiday,
while actively ignoring the clutter of the other holiday.
—
how incredibly lucky
that right after i realized it is
‘clutter awareness week’
i found out it is also
‘international goof off week’
so i decided to go all in on the goof off celebration.
i’ve never been one to shy away from honoring a holiday
but i can only spread myself so thin.
happy holidays to those of you who celebrate one or both.

I am trying to celebrate both. I am being more aware of the clutter and goofing off enough to not do anything about it. I can’t imagine how many holidays I missed before I started following your blog.

a great compromise I’d say. I consider my holiday alerts a sort of community service )

With two under two at home, I am VERY aware of the clutter! Every time I step on a toy or trip on a tutu, I am reminded of it. I can only hope that “Goof Off” week is just starting, because I could use a break…

I know I’m goofy (at times). But I’ve never really goofed off. I’m too much of a planner.
Goof Off has never been on my list of to-dos.

Wonderful photo of a dinosaur on the bed. A dogosaur? (It’s a unique perspective when you can’t see ears.) And every day is a goof off day amid clutter. 🙂

We did our decluttering a long time before any ‘official’ week. As for goofing off, I don’t need any permission, or a special week. 🙂
(And I call it ‘relaxing’. We don’t really say ‘goofing off’ in England.)
Best wishes, Pete.

That’s what the pause button is for on my remote. I work a little, then push play and sit and enjoy a little. Then repeat. Eventually, the work gets done and I’m still relaxed. So I’ll celebrate both. Clearing some clutter and goofing off. 🙂 Thanks for the permission. 🙂
