52 Weeks of Organizing ~ Week 1

After moving 3 times in one year, I feel the need to streamline and simplify. I am generally an organized person (okay...I am a tad OCD), but because I like things to be "perfect" I will often give up before I even start. So when I stumbled upon orgjunkie's 52 weeks of organizing I decided to give it a try. Maybe if I break my goal to have an organized house down into smaller projects I will be more successful. So here goes.

The first thing she challenged us to do is to write down a list of 52 organizational projects we want to complete. So far I have 28 projects but some of them will take more than a week to complete.

The first thing on the list that I want to complete is to finish unpacking from our latest move. I am going to do this by unpacking (and putting away) at least 5 boxes this week. As I unpack, things that we don't need will thrown or given away.

Wish me luck...I have NEVER unpacked every single box after a move. The best so far was 1 box left after a move (we were in that home for 3 years)!
