Organize my bedroom

I am going to really bust my butt and get this room organized today. No more putting it off, I am just going to get it done. Then I am going to dust and sweep, and call this goal complete. If I don’t get it done today, then I will tomorrow, but still, it is going to get done!

I finished all of my dusting today and got my computer desk and dresser switched around. My computer was in front of the a/c so it got too cold to sit at the desk. I like the layout of my room better now! And having all of the dusting done is great! We swept the floors and gathered up most of the trash and recycling and have a handful of things to take out to the garage. If we do that and get the laundry done, my room will be completely clean for once in what seems like years. I am truly excited to be this close to being done.

So, I am actually almost done cleaning my room! I got my husband to take 6 boxes out of our room that was full of stuff we didn’t need in here. And you know, I still think there is a lot of stuff we need to take out of this room. We honestly don’t use anything up here other than clothes, the bed, the lamps and the computer, so it could be all cleaned out and I probably wouldn’t think anything of it.

Anyway, my goals for today is to get the dusting done, switch around the dresser and computer desk, sweep and put away the rest of the laundry. I think I can get that done!

I actually did some work on my room and am proud to say that my closet is clean! I even worked out a storage system that allows us to keep more things organized in the closet. Now, I boxed up a lot of stuff to try and sell later and I just need to get my husband to move them out into the garage for me. I think I have 5 or 6 boxes all filled up! I am really excited. I am hoping to get the boxes out today and then put away all of the stuff that we accumulated from trucking and get the dusting and sweeping done. Might even throw the sheets and comforter in the wash. I already have most of my laundry washed, just need to put it all away. I am really happy that I am getting cleaning done. I don’t really want us to be home all the time, but if we are going to have to, I at least want to have a place that I can sit around and feel at peace. And I am well on my way to having that.

I am going to do one box today, like I said. I am thinking about going through all of my books in my room and boxing up the ones I don’t read or don’t want to read any time soon so I can put the books that I actually want to read on a shelf. Then, the big box under my bed that is full of miscellaneous books can be used to store things that I actually need access to on a regular basis. I might even clean out a drawer and use it for storing things too. Oh, gasp, I might even dust! Well, let’s not get too carried away. :)

I really need to organize my room. I feel like if I do, I might actually feel like I have gotten my life in better order. Having a room full of chaos feels like having a life full of chaos.

I am thinking about starting small, like putting away all of the clean clothes and filling 1 box with useless things a day. One box at a time isn’t too huge. And by boxing up useless stuff, I can see if there is some stuff that I would like to sell, donate, or throw away.

I am going to start tomorrow. :)
