please motivate me to get my wintry clothes out of the loft!

[notsurewhatshappening]

I know I have lovely jumpers, trousers, knitted dresses etc in the loft. I'm lacking motivation to bag up my summer stuff and swap it over. My drawers and wardrobe are a mess and it all needs sorting out... inspiration please!

The temperature has dropped to single figures today, with a chilly breeze. That would be enough to inspire me!

Yep, 9 degrees here tomorrow. That’s motivation enough for boots, jumpers and coats.

The weather forecast gives you a heads up to do it soon.

The actual temperature will just plain impel you within less than a week

Today is very very cold, hopefully that is the inspiration you need as it would be for me.

Errr aren't you cold?!

I've been indoors all day on my dressing gown and tracksuit as I've got bronchitis. ..probably explains the lack of motivation!

Sorry you're ill op. When a task seems overwhelming break it down in to small manageable tasks, and if that's still too much, break it down again and again.

So: when you are feeling better

• tidy up bedroom
• clean bedroom
• empty drawers of summer clothes, lay on bed, fold neatly
• wipe or re-line drawers
• same with wardrobe
• store all summer clothes in storage bags
• carry upstairs to lift
• bring down winter clothes
• ditto all the same in reverse

Just cross off one task at a time. If you have problems getting started, set a timer for 5 or 15 mins and do as much as you can in that time and that should motivate you to do next 5 or 15 mins!

Good luck op!

loft not lift!

I'm still unwell but have started sorting out summer clothes just as you've described - thanks!

If ur ill then u need to do very little if u can get away with it. But stay warm and change them over as soon as you feel better.

I come out of hospital a week and abit ago, still ill..
Im sitting here in a freezing cold kitchen.. No oil to heat the house, its on order but taking ages! .... Just put extra layers on but also need motivation to sort some bits out

Hope you are ok London Lass.

I've got the bag out of the loft! Summer clothes have gone up. Just having a rest then I'll start putting the jumpers etc in my drawers. Progress!

I still havent done what i need to do...

Laying in bed, freezing... Hoping the oil man comes tomorrow, bloody bugger

Hope you can warm up soon. How horrible for you
