Day 3: Remove and Sort (Bedroom)

So my therapist says that I have attention deficit disorder and I thought he was just making excuses for my lack of motivation to finish things, or many degree programs I have started and switched but I am actually starting to think that it may be true! Instead of doing the 15 minutes in my room I went shopping last night. I did need clothes....I swear! I am totally between sizes but reallly......where am I going to put them...have you seen my closet! I totally do things that really drive myself nuts sometimes.

So our plan today is to remove and sort.....eeekkkk I need to remove everything to a separate room which not sure how that is going to work but maybe to the hallway. I will separate into piles KEEP (hanger), KEEP (drawer), DONATE, STORAGE, TOSS

this room scares me a bit and will take a bit of time so I am going to give 45 minutes today, probably after hubby gets home. I will post pictures later......wish me luck....

Day 2: Plan (master bedroom)

1. what do I want the purpose of the room to be? Relaxing bedroom. What to be able to go to bed feeling calm and wake up to clean. Right now my mornings and nights, start and end with mess and the middle is chaotic. A clean bedroom will make the world of difference I feel.

2. What do I need in or near the room to serve the purpose? not sure.....

3. What can I remove from the room? As I look at it, it seems the easiest to remove would be the extra clothes, painting supplies, and toys.

4. What problems do I see with the room? mess mess mess mess.....need i say more!

5. What Organizational tools might help this? closet organizer...shoe organizer and not sure what else.

6. What habits need to change to solve the organization problem? Not letting stuff get on the floor. Once its there, that is where the issue starts! Keep it off the floor, put it in the drawer!

7. What kind of budget do I have to create the organized room of my dreams? I would say no more than a $50.00. I really like the paint so it looks like I just need some closet supplies and cleaning so shouldn't cost much!

8. What kind of timeline is necessary?. 28 days!!

9. What is my plan of action? A little everyday....three kids, husband, cat, dog and home daycare...I don't have a lot of time and can get overwhelmed very fast so I am going to commit to 30 minutes a day. I can put the tv on and do some cleaning before bed :) No excuses...have to go in the room anyways!!!

10 Who can I ask to help me? My husband!! He for sure needs to help with this room....he is part of the problem!!

28 Day Organizing Challenge

So I decided to take the 28 day Organizing Challenge and already fine myself procrastinating. Actually i had to take pictures and was so embarrassed by them was not sure if I was going to continue. But I figured if I posted them, it will force me to have AMAZING after photos! So are the two rooms I am tackling...my laundry/bathroom which also needs to function as an area to store preschool/daycare materials, Tupperware, and all the other odds and ends things that I don't know what to do with plus my master bedroom. This room is by far the worst room. Every time I step in this room a sense of anxiety rushes over me and I just don't know where to begin so its gotten bad...I mean bad!!! So those are the rooms...next step PLAN!
