Moving In, Moving Out

It is the season for moving and that is as good as time as any to clean out some areas, because you can ALWAYS get rid of stuff you don't need. Here's the right way to do it.  You will need 3 bags. One bag is for trash, one is for giving away and one is for what you will be keeping.




 
The next step is to identify a room or area you desire to reorganize, clean out, etc. Start small so you do not overwhelm yourself.


A good small start would be this corner shelf area.


This is another corner shelf that needs attention

Also the bathroom gets crowded so quickly, so add that to the list.  Now that we have some areas to tackle, it is important to be in the right mood to get rid of stuff.  If you are not already, you can watch an episode of the show Hoarders. That will do it. So start throwing stuff away and giving it away by asking yourself the question: "What would I do if I didn't have this?"
This is really effective especially when you come across things you didn't know you had.


 Do not be discouraged, when you are getting organized you will have a bigger mess for awhile.
 

Proof that it pays to get organized, I found a $5 bill! A Christmas present I put in a weird place.
 
 
Now the end result. How satisfying.


I was able to empty the right side of the bathroom sink completely.

 
And changed how things are stacked in the corner shelf.
