With that being said, I knew I had to do something today and so I went with the only thing FlyLady really expects of us anyway- fifteen minutes. The rest if the house is still great. I've kept up on laundry and tidying the living room, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms a of course it's easy because I do it every day- but I hadn't gone further.
So I picked a cupboard- a nasty one we've been using as a junk cupboard. I pulled Geoff in on this because half the papers and mail belong to him. Two piles, recycling and filing. But it was the batteries and the Christmas decorations (??) and unused school supplies and supply lists for September that I don't want to lose... and frankly I'm incredibly surprised I have at all!
I have to admit, it looks better than it did (sorry no before shot, i just up and decided to set the timer and then I began). Sad, I know, but I just didn't feel like doing more than fifteen minutes. Point is, I did it and I stopped. I put everything that wasn't figured out back in to sort tomorrow. And I don't feel bad because this is my clutter. The stuff I don't know where to put and I'm going to have to throw stuff out.
I'm not sentimental about it really, just unsure if I will need it or want it. With that being said, the first run was okay. I'm not sure what to do with the battery chargers and box of rechargeable batteries- hey, maybe if I use them instead of the box of non-rechargeable batteries (why wouldn't I have both? I'm disorganized) I could put everything in one spot. It will happen; fifteen minutes at a time. Happy organizing!
