The thing I love about blogging as a pastime and hanging about communities such as mumsnet is that you can offer advice and tips (or just get something off your chest that's been bugging you) and no one can really criticise your opinion or highlight the disadvantages to your big new idea.
Of course, people will comment on what you have written (usually very honestly and often very bluntly) but by then you've posted your blog or forum topic and gained all that satisfaction from getting your thoughts out there.
My big issue today is that I hate de-cluttering and I hate all those blogs telling me why I should do it – how I'll be a calmer, more organised person and even a better parent (come on – I'm perfect already). All those "declutter your home in 5 easy steps" posts (I even wrote some of them) – but really I love my clutter and happen to think that my cluttered home office is the source of some of my best creative ideas.
So my advice to you today is – forget the decluttering and enjoy the mess – it could help you think more creatively.
Anyone else want to share their own personal nuggets of wisdom?
