One Drawer at a Time


 As I am trying to clean out things and consolidate, I often find myself getting overwhelmed.  I hate that because that's when I get really discouraged and just let things stay as they are.  It's human nature, I know, but it doesn't help me with what I want.  So, I am going to try to do things one at a time.  I was watching a show about clutter and one of the panelists told the guest to just do it one drawer at a time.  Don't try to be overambitious because you'll end up giving up and I totally related to that sentiment.  

So, that is my plan.  One drawer at a time.  Or one shelf or cabinet or box.  I just need to focus on one project at a time and see how it goes.  That will also work out better for my time because having homework on top of work leaves me only a little spare time and I need to use it wisely.  I definitely think that I will get more accomplished by doing it this way.  And since I don't have any pending social obligations at the house, I can take my time.

I've also been using the mantra "don't put it down, put it away." and that has been quite beneficial.  Now, the going through the drawers and cabinets will give me places to put things away.  I'm looking forward to this cleaning challenge and will update you with my progress!

That is all
