In our home office, the new carpet lies on the floor, the new baseboards hug the walls. My husband had a two-week vacation scheduled in May due to the coronavirus, so we took on a home improvement project. But the minor remodeling was not all we did.\n<\/p>\n<p>Our office was cluttered, really cluttered. Because we had to move all the furniture out anyway to install a new floor, we took the opportunity to clear out some of the things we were storing in there. Some items we moved elsewhere, and others we discarded:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We cleaned off the worktable. Because what good is a worktable if you cannot use its surface for work?\n<\/li>\n<li>We emptied file drawers. I discarded or consolidated files pertaining to former jobs and deceased family members.\n<\/li>\n<li>We removed a shelving unit we no longer need. This freed up some floor space, making the office seem roomier.\n<\/li>\n<li>We weeded a couple of bookshelves. I do not need two thesauruses or two road atlases at my fingertips.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Today I can begin working in my newly refreshed office. It feels like time and money well spent.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finished!
