Hello everyone! I've been stalking this subreddit for a while getting so much encourage from seeing before and after pictures. Definitely keep posting pictures bc you never know how those pictures help others!

Alright here's my problem. I've lost my motivation to continue decluttering. ☹️

I finally decided to tackle my office and electronic clutter these past two days and tbh I'm over it now. Yesterday it was going through Google photos and deleting hundreds of screenshots I have taken over the years. I swear I have like 200-400 screenshots of random things. I have no idea what the hell is wrong with me and why I saved so many screenshots! Lol! Thankfully I made what I hope is a significant dent in that electronic clutter. My office is another story. I have a 5-6 inch pile of paper like old bills, tax records, receipts, etc etc. Started going through today, got overwhelmed, and stopped. Like I said earlier, I'm over it but I don't want to leave things unfinished. Looking for tips/advice to stay motivated. My long term goal is to eventually clear out this room in order to rent it out in the future to help pay bills and whatnot. So the paperwork and all the other stuff needs to go ASAP!

TL;DR- Started declutter electronic files and office paperwork and now feeling overwhelmed. Need some tips/advice to keep going.

Hello everyone! Newbie here wanting to set up a hummingbird paradise in my backyard. 😄

Last summer I noticed several hummingbirds flitting about in my backyard and was tickled pink! Promptly bought a feeder with some nectar and hung it up on a lemon tree branch. When I checked it two days later, I noticed the ants had gotten into it. 😞 It was peak summer season. I took it down and set it on a chair in the backyard where sadly I forgot about it. I was clearing weeds yesterday & found the feeder. Unfortunately, it remained outside for a couple of seasons (summer, fall, rain & now spring) so it had some condensation and what appears to be mold inside the tube. Thought about giving the feeder a thorough cleaning with some bleach and anti-bacterial soap but perhaps I should toss and get a new one? Hate the idea of contributing to over consumption throwout culture causing negative environmental damage but I would hate it even more if those precious little birds got sick and die due to a biohazard feeder I put out. Crossroads here! Can this feeder be cleaned and still be safe or should I just toss it and buy a new one?

Also, what kind of water supply/fountain do you use? Just learned bird baths are not good for hummingbirds.
