Ok, so I confess, I am already overwhelmed and defeated in this endeavor. I look at it and I am stuck. I so badly want to pull the curtains shut and just walk away. But you have encouraged me to push on, plus, I would feel like a colossal fail if I simply quit ( I mean, moved on to something more pressing ). So, here I go!
The next step according to my little (evil) magazine, is to Empty. So I am emptying my closet, clearing the clutter! I set up my purge station on my sun room floor with bins to help sort.
KEEP PILE: My keep pile consists of the following different keep piles to be sorted later.
Photography inspiration
Homeschooling items
Personal bills to be paid
Personal records to be filed
Business related items for Ryan
TOSS: Obvious
RE PURPOSE: Items that can be used elsewhere in my home
RETURN: Items that don't belong to me that must be returned to rightful owner.
DONATE: Items that are in good shape to be taken to charity
EBAY: Items to sell on Ebay
Here are the nifty little bins ~
Here is my EMPTY little closet ~
Here is the Ebay pile ~ includes the dog!
Well, my 30 minutes is up for sure but now I have a huge dusty, cluttered sun room to deal with!! As if that isn't stressful enough, I have to take my daughter rollerskating in an hour. So it is more than likely going to stay this way while I go rock the rollerskates. Did I mention that I wanted to quit this craziness!! I am SO going to Dairy Queen.
YOU ROCK! Throw that curtain over those piles & walk away for the day! Btw~ you've inspired me to tackle my hall closet ;) It's a wreck!
ReplyDeleteChrysti ~ Well, I have to keep repeating the phrase, just keep swimming, just keep swimming or I will drown in this messy sea that is my life on the floor!! Thanks. Blog your project too! It really does help keep you on track!
ReplyDeleteOkay so the chairs in the Ebay pile...are those two separate chairs or one piece? Do NOT post them until we talk!
ReplyDeleteWait, are they even included, or are they included like the dog is included? :)
And, btw, you are doing GREAT!!! Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
Michelle ~ those are indeed in the sell pile. Thanks! I need all the encouragement I can get!
