Making Progress
Today was the day to put my boots on and begin cleaning! No, I didn’t really need boots because I was cleaning our upstairs “everything room”. I do product reviews and when I complete reviewing something, I have been putting them upstairs. Then I ended up putting the items in boxes and before I knew it, the room was over full!
It’s not like “out of sight, out of mind”, it’s right at the top of the stairs so I see it every time I go up there! But today, was the day and I completed it in about 2 1/2 hours which included about 1/2 hour of slacking while looking through old pictures and the kids toys. I’m the type that has to complete a project when I start it. If I start something then take a break, the break lasts for weeks or months until I can get back to what I started to do. So it’s all or nothing, here I go!!
Part way through my project, I was finally able to realize we had a floor and I could almost see the sofa! LOL I organized things from electronics, kitchen items, toys, pet products, etc. in separate boxes so I knew what I had. The next step was to decide what was going to be donated and what was going to be saved for gifts. I neatly stored those in a closet while the truck is full of the other things. Plus I manged to have a trash bag full of packing stuff, broken boxes and things that I had no idea what they were for.
Once I completed my project, I was glad I finally got this room back to a room. So if you’re like me and procrastinate about re-organizing, take a deep breath, look situation over and tackle it! When I do get a room finished, it makes me want to do another. The next project will be to re-organize the master bedroom closet. That will be a piece of cake compared to what I just accomplished! But that will have to wait, since I’m going to start cooking a chicken dinner!
I’m impressed! I just unpacked two more boxes and thought I’d done well. At least I still don’t have anything in my closets yet.
Thanks Irene! Once I set my mind to something, I can do it!! Now to keep it this way! Thanks for visiting.
way to get things organized need to get my house organized
It takes me forever to get started, but once I do, watch out! I’m on a roll now! Thanks for visiting Richelle!
My philosophy is that if I leave it for long enough someone else will tidy it up. Doesn’t always work!
Well if I did that, hubby would bring in the back hoe and toss everything Bill! I procrastinate but once I start, I’m on a roll. Thanks for stoppping by!
Whoa, I don’t think that room has been that neat in like a decade! ? Let’s see how long it stays that way, lol.
A decade, 10 years, ya that’s about right! LOL It will stay like this because once I clean up, I don’t let it get messed up. Thanks for the encouraging words Alexandra! 🙂
Now that was a big job! It does pay off in the end!!
It was Stacy but once I started it wasn’t too bad. I have to finish a project when I start or it never gets done! My next project is re-organizing the master bedroom closet. That won’t be quite as much of a challenge…….. I don’t think! Good luck on your play room purging. Thanks for stopping by!
Glad you was able to pull that off. I need to do that come spring time to my shed.
Oh gosh, did you have to mention shed? LOL That will be a full weekend project for us! But need to wait for warmer weather!! Thanks for stopping by Sandy.
I love that room and how comfortable it looks with throws and pillows for everyone!
Thanks Becky, I’m glad to have the room back in order. Most of the pillows where made by our grandchildren at one time or another. Hoping now that it’s organized, I can keep it that way! Thanks for visiting!
