One Drawer at a Time Update


 I started my "every day" process of cleaning and organizing again at the beginning of the year.  So, I'm one month in.  I chose to do the process a little differently this year and I have discovered that I do not believe that is going to work for me. I was doing one thing in one room and then going on to do one thing in another room and so forth until I had done something in each room before starting the cycle over again. While I did it that way and wrote down what I had done in each room, it simply does not feel right. I got things done and organized.  I do not like it as much, though, because I am not seeing the results that I did when I focused on one room at a time.  I could really see a difference when I would spend a few weeks in each room.  It made more sense to me that way.  I am glad that I tried something different but now I know what really works for me.  So, I will be going back to focusing on one room and not moving on until I finish up that room.  Also, and I have no problem admitting this, I still have a lot of my Christmas stuff up.  I am working, albeit slowly, on getting it all put away.  In the meantime, it does make things a little more problematic because the rooms are not like they normally are throughout the year.  So, I will go back to focusing on getting the kitchen done first.  There aren't very many decorations in there left so I can definitely work around that. Plus, since I'm in that room so much, I will be able to really see my progress. And that is really something with this process that I need.  I can do that.
