I’ve been trying to find a good routine for photo decluttering. There are lots of recommendations, even good ones on my own site and still, it’s a challenge to stick to it. It’s not that the recommendations are bad, or that there’s something wrong with me, it’s just not compelling enough right now. If you are struggling to get a new habit or routine going, check in on your interest level. Maybe you’d rather focus on something else right now. Instead of beating yourself up for not “sticking with it” move on to something that is pulling on your heart. See if you discover more ease working on something you are actually interested in now.<\/p>\n
