To share....or not to share?

So here it is almost the end of January and it's been quite a while since my last post. I have been thinking a lot about how I might make this blog more useful. For me, it's very helpful to read other people's blogs or watch videos about people either struggling with my same issues, or those who have mastered the art of an uncluttered household. I find it very inspiring. However, I have been very reluctant to share my own blog. One, because I don't consider it very interesting and haven't worked that hard on it. Two, because I don't know if I've really gotten anywhere. Would I be more inspired if I posted more often and actually shared this? I'll see if this week I make some headway. BTW there's another construction project going on. So the kitchen/hall area is jam packed with stuff, and the upstairs has taken on the brunt of "family room living" so is generally more cluttered than it used to be, thanks to video games and wires. Also, the entire house is very dusty from the residual construction dust, even though I have actually been dusting and vacuuming it more often just to keep up.  I have been truly trying very hard to keep an uncluttered kitchen area by consciously putting everything away each evening. It's nice to wake up to a totally clean kitchen island. Also, I have been very good at swishing and swiping the downstairs bathrooms. I have been keeping up with laundry washing, but not very good at putting it away. I will revel in my small successes.
