Clearning and Re-clearning

Let me share with you a life wisdom; something you may have only suspected but now I give you proof that the phenomena known as 'the re-do' actually exists -- metaphysically speaking. In fact, there is probably a scientific term for it but I think 'the re-do' is all that's needed because...

...I keep re-doing the same clearning, over and over!

I keep buying more bins, re-organizing stuff into different bins, RE-directing found stuff into different bins, unearthing stuff I forgot I had, and trying my darnedest to keep people's stuff at bay. At one point last week I was at the point where I could see floor, and had SWEPT the autumn leaves that had blown into the open garage back out the garage door. However, the handyman has temporary stuff, people living in my house have temporary stuff, and of course there is my own temporary stuff. I just came through the state gourd festival, so now there are additional gourds to store for the new projects to come this winter. That's the problem with having hands-on interests -- there are materials to acquire and use to produce the final projects. **sigh*

This is what I now know: the re-do phenomena is not a problem, it is a perspective issue because now I believe it's just the way garages work.  After the trash and debris is deleted, stuff in a garage is useful and gets used. Everything is not used every single day, but periodically materials get used and need to be put back in place. So, figuring out where to put things, while the process of using materials is happening is what the phenomena of "the re-do" is all about.

In my garage, there is the spring gourd cleaning and crafting, the fall is the gourd festival, all summer is the farm market season when the tables and baskets are used, then of course there's the seasonal decorating for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. Back to 'the zone concept' of areas allotted to different activities.
