Week 1 here: http://www.organizeoregon.com/2011/08/04/organizing-weekly-week-1/
Welcome to week 2 of Organizing Weekly! In addition to continuing the work you started last week, this week we’re going to tackle one closet, preferably the least organized one in your home. Since closets are typically too small for multiple people to work on one together, have each person work on a separate closet at the same time. Below are some items that may be of some help getting your closets organized. Closets often have a load of seemingly unusable space, that with some creative storage solutions, you can optimize every little bit!
:: Day 1
Pick the closet you most want organized. Tell yourself you don’t need everything you are going to come across in this closet and it is ok to part with a good portion of it! Spend 10 minutes and sort through coats/clothes and putting unwanted items in the donation box from last week.
:: Day 2-6
Each day, spend only 10 minutes working on removing unwanted items (donate box, or throw away) and moving wanted items to where they belong (kitchen, bathrooms, borrowed clothes back in their owner’s closet, etc). Set a timer and don’t go over 10 minutes.
:: Day 7
Spend 30 minutes finishing up the work you started on previous days. If the closet hasn’t been finished at the end of Day 7, keep working on it for 10 minutes each day until it’s done. Take your donation box to your preferred donation center.
Make a promise to yourself that the closet is to stay organized and not become a catch-all for random stuff ever again. Another week well done!
