I am a sticker fanatic aka hoarder! A story from JunkDrawerLoveEtsy in "Note from Buyer"

Note from Buyer I will be using these stickers for myself on a chore chart. I have a hard time getting motivated to clean, so I've made myself a chart. I am very excited to see if my new sticker chart will help.
This is what I wrote back:
Hi! Thank you for ordering from Hoarder Rehab's: JunkDrawerLoveEtsy. They will ship out on Monday, the 30th. I hope you love stickers as much as I do and I am so happy to hear that they are going to help motivate you to clean! I'm excited too for you. If it works, let me know, I might have to try it myself!
I never thought about using these stickers as motivation for myself and to track my own progress, but I think it's a grand idea and will incorporate into my life too some how!
PS. I'm hoping I can use your little story in "note to buyer" on my blog because I think it's unique and I love it! I will leave you anonymous if you prefer it. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Kindest regards,

Saying Goodbye: I'm not going to say goodbye, well to this batch I am, but I'm going to use her idea to help me clean, dehoard and organize the music art room. I wonder which stickers I should use?
Since last October my goal is to spend at least 15 min daily in the 2nd room either cleaning, dehoarding or organizing it. I even set a timer before I go in there and tell myself as soon as the timer goes off I can go do something else. It gets me in there and on most days I dehoard for a total of 30 - 45 min.

However lately, I haven't been setting the timer and it seems that all I keep doing is clearing off the sewing machine table perpetually! Which indicates that I clear it and then pile stuff on it again as soon as I turn around! That doesn't feel like progress to me.
So thank you Etsy buyer for inspiring me too! I'm going to give myself a sticker in my daily planner everyday that I'm in there for the full 15 minutes and see how many days a month and how much time a day I'm actually in there!
Now should I use these smiley face stickers?

or should I use the page of 500 old school stickers that are square?

What I Learned:
1. Okay, see here, I've got myself into a hoarder's delimma because I can't decide which stickers to use! This is probably a no brainer for most people, but for me, well, it's not. For instance, I like the smiley face stickers because they are round and there's definitely enough for a whole year, but the year is not over yet and there isn't enough smiley face stickers for the rest of this year and the rest of next year.
The page of 500 has enough for the rest of this year and next year and I have more pages of these than the smiley faces, but they are square and I would prefer the round ones.
Yikes! I even thought about cutting the square ones into circles. No, I didn't. Yes, I did. Okay, I'm settling with the square ones and I'm not going to cut them into circles and I'm going to give myself a sticker for every 15 min. I spend dehoarding the music art room.
2. Phew, I can really see how my hoarder dilemmas hinder and paralyze my thinking process and decision making now that I've written it down! And that was just for stickers!
Which stickers would you use? I'm using the 500 old school sheet of stickers and so far I only have one sticker in my daily planner from last week! I'm having a difficult time catching up on lost time from last month's proposed "new" project. Read about it here.
