Today I spent a good six (yes, six) hours cleaning and organizing one of the closets in my room. I'm almost embarrassed to show you the state that my closets are in, but alas that is the sacrifice I must make. Ninety five percent of the things in the closet I inherited from the previous teacher after she retired after about 20 years, so needless to say, she had a lot of stuff to share. Its kind of overwhelming to take it all in at once. I had to work up my courage to start tackling the enourmous job of cleaning and organizing. Today I finally tackled the first of two large closets in my room. The best way for me to get motivated to do this is to do one shelf (or drawer) at a time. Then as I slowly see things start to change for the better, it makes me want to keep going. I managed to get through four of the five shelves today (just dont look at the bottom shelf on the picture). Three bags of trash later, it is finally looking like an organized closet in which I finally feel like I can find things quickly and easily in. Now I just have to work up the courage to tackle the back closet. Wish me luck . . .
