Today I made a Clutterers Anonymous call and was delighted in two ways. One was to find a community of people around the country committing to each other what area they would declutter in the next hour, half hour, or sometimes 15 minutes. It was an Action Line that I was on so that was the focus. There was a short reading out of the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous and someone shared an experience about the reading topic. I did what I said I would do (load the dishwasher) and I did it quickly to get back on the call at the bottom of the hour. I was honest with them and said I no longer have a problem with clutter but that I use picking up as a way to procrastinate and that I really need 'procrastinators anonymous'. I thought I was being funny but lo and behold there is a Procrastinator's Anonymous and I am going to call in on their line tomorrow afternoon when I have a chunk of time that I'd like to devote to writing! The number for the CLA Action Line that I called is (218)339-2500, code 185487#. I believe it is a 24hr line and the idea is to check in at the top of the hour to commit and then check back in when you are done.
