Organizing Progress Report

Alright, time to update on my latest organizing project!

I didn’t want to post my progress last week because I didn’t feel like I had my head wrapped around things enough to document how I’m doing. Now I’m feeling a bit more focused, so I feel like I can share some thoughts with the world . . .

At the moment I’m about 1/2 way done, maybe a little more. A LOT of the sorting work is done, and I have a nice hefty Goodwill pile growing in the living room (which I will transfer to my car tomorrow). I also have tossed a LOT of trash (empty boxes and soooo much paper clutter). Soon it will be time to start figuring out how it will all fit back in an organized and uncluttered manner!

I’ve moved my deadline from the end of the month to . . . Wednesday, LOL! At the moment I would really like to get things finished before my parents and brother come to share Thanksgiving with me, but I do have a backup plan. If I can’t get it all finished, I will at least have the room finished and the outside storage finished. The closet will be completely sorted, and my contingency plan is to put it all back into the closet and then pull it back out and reorganize it once they leave. Since all the sorting is done, this won’t be sooo awful, but I am really going to try and avoid this. If I DO have to do this, then I will use the post-Thankgiving time to finish things up.

I am so thrilled to be getting this done. I thought that I had purged a lot when I moved, but I am discovering that there is so much more that can go! Off to take care of some more work!
