I’ve been deep cleaning the house like a mad woman now that
the holidays are over. Along with the other basic cleaning tasks, I deep
dusted, conquered
Mt.
Laundry, and shampooed
every bit of carpeting in the house – whew!
Did any organizing happen?
Um, no.
Once I start an organization project, I’m motivated to
finish because I love the feeling of accomplishment. I also like that I find
stuff I forgot I had. It’s like Christmas comes early.
The hardest part is finding the motivation to start.
I need a shove in the right direction. I knew I can count on
the blogosphere to do it. I teamed up with a bunch of great bloggers for the
Clear the Clutter Challenge!
Starting January 16th visit our blogs for ideas
on how to organize and declutter your home. We will have a linky at the bottom
of each post so you can add a link to any amazing and clever organizing posts
you have on your blog. I realize this is short notice, so feel free to post
anything that fits from your blog archives.
The Clear the Clutter Challenge Schedule:

This is so awesome, I have been organizing various areas in my home but I would say the biggest challenge is our closet. The top bar is for my husband, the bottom one for me, it's just not functional enough.
ReplyDeleteI always dream of throwing away so much stuff and having more order around me. Then I sit down and look around and look into files and stuff and realize, that I really do need everything I've got. Feeling cramped is due to being a student living in one room!
ReplyDeleteWell, one day, one day I am going to be living in a two room flat (instead of sharing one with a terribly nice flatmate) on my own (or have two rooms in a three room flat with a flatmate), and then I am going to have SO MUCH TIDY AND ORDER :-D.
It's going to be great. Until then, I'll read decluttering articles and live through you. ;-)
Sonja - I hear you! I lived in an efficiency apartment at one time. If I didn't put things away right away, it got messy very quickly! I think that's the reason I like covered storage.
