get the whole house organised

I actually organised this 3 weeks ago when I first made this goal, but I wanted to write an entry here just to record the fact that I did it.

And I can take the opportunity to report that it’s still fairly organised, and even somewhat tidy, believe it or not! G’s scared witless to mess up the one area of the house I actually worked on, so he’s been good about putting his shoes away every day, and now that the weather’s warmed up, there are fewer coats and accessories to worry about.

It also helped me in a wardrobe emergency a week ago, when I was frantically changing outfits 5 mins after we were supposed to leave for an event, and I was able to quickly locate the shoes I wanted because I had all my shoeboxes labelled on the outside.

Just added this to go along with my goal of keeping the house clean. I realised that I couldn’t keep the house clean if it wasn’t clean to begin with, and it can never be clean if I don’t de-clutter and organise the things that I do want to keep.

99% of the junk lying around messing up the house is there because I just don’t know where else to put it, so I’m going to try to find homes for everything. Then it’ll be a bit easier to keep the house tidy.
