I estimated that the basement would probably take about six months when I developed my project plan. Here we are on month eight with so much more to do.
With the holiday fast approaching, I began this weekend with some basement time. I started by planning how I wanted to approach pulling my decorations out for this year and how I was going to manage the process. In addition, it was a good time to spend on the boxes “in the way” of that process.
The basement project like life has gone through a lot of shifting over the last eight months. Yes, progress has been made. Yes, sometimes it doesn’t look it or feel like it. But I keep reminding myself that this is a journey and not just a destination.
Do I wish that I had accomplished more in less time. Sure. But I am also confident that the end result will be great and long-lasting.
So back into the basement I go today to clear out more clutter and organize what remains.
p.s. Because I implemented my holiday plan I actually have time to spend in the basement this weekend since all my holiday shopping is done and most of the gift wrapping.
