We have set ourselves a challenge. It is to full a bag for goodwill. We are dividing our challenges into weeks to keep it simple. Week one is our closet. It is a transition time out of winter clothes and into spring. A good time to look at what you have been wearing all winter and decide if it is still in good shape, are you tired of it, no longer your style. One of us, not naming names, keeps clothes because they still fit and are okay. The clothes are no longer her style or she was worn them for years and yeah they should go. Don't transition your winter clothes until you take each piece and decide if a keeper or not. We didn't put a "bag" size so a grocery bag or a garbage bag both are good. The week time frame was set for a deadline.
After that we are tackling the "junk" drawer in the kitchen, linen closet and outwear or entry way closet. Each will have a week. When we get through COVID-19 it would be nice to have completed some projects. To have something to show for being home just not I watched everything of interest on Netflix and ate.
Being home more has made me (since I'm writing the post I get to put in some personal stuff here) more aware of my home. Things I like, don't like. I realize I have too much stuff. There always seems to be stuff on the bedroom chair and floors. Not all clothes, but books and paper. One extra thing on my list is to go through paperwork and shred taxes, receipts I no longer need.
If you can think of any other areas of the home that could do with a purging and/or organizing let us know.
