Project: Declutter and Organize

I'm feeling completely taken over by all the things in my home.  Most of it just needs to be thrown out. I've stocked up on garbage bags and I am not afraid to use them.  There are lots of places that need my attention.  I always aspire to accomplish it all, but fizzle out.  I need a plan and a simple one.  I thought I might just tackle one area a day.  Not too overwhelming, and then the rest of the household chores can be accomplished as well.  That way the whole house doesn't look like a bomb went off because I was focusing on deep cleaning one area.

• junk drawer(s) [please tell me I 'm not the only one with multiple junk drawers]
• under bathroom sinks
• under kitchen sink
• under laundry sink
• spice cupboard
• pantry
• linen closet
• coat closet
• bedroom nightstands
• front room console tables
• silverware drawer
• kids dressers
• rest of kitchen cupboards [this one is going to have to be a Saturday job]

I don't want to get over ambitious, but the garage, den closet, car, refrigerator could use a little help as well.

Got some messy spots?  Join me won't you.

Oh man this is right up my ally! I love organizing and tossing. Problem is I often times throw away things we actually need... Like cables and cords. Brock always blames me for tossing things he can't find. But it feels so good:)

I've been doing some major decluttering with the help of a friend. I've made numerous drop offs at Goodwill and am trying to go through EVERYTHING I own. I'm definitely close to finishing the project. Good luck to you!
