Not going shopping for a year! So much clothes! The only problem is that I gained weight. Hopefully, I will back in them by the end of summer.
I did get rid of a lot of things too. I plan on getting rid of things slowly as I lose weight.
Is that bad? 5 days ago

When lying in bed last night unable to sleep I had a fantasy of throwing out all my junk and just having the basics. It would be like how I am when I am on a trip, with the basic things I need. I would keep some things in reserve, like most precious mementos and documents, but it would be overall a junk free zone. I struggle with papers and sentimental things.
Anyway I’m going to work on several things today:
1. Clean off the desk
2. Put things into files – DONE
3. Drink a liter of water – DONE
4. Stay off facebook for the next 12 hours 9:30am – 9:30pm – DONE
5. Clean off the bed and make the bed – DONE
6. Bathe – DONE
7. Put on clean clothes- DONE1 month ago

have entered the trash bag
I find it helps my mood to document any progress, however small 1 month ago

I am getting ready to address the second closet. This contains overflow from the Work Closet and also random things that are not suitable for work, or clothes I feel sorry for, or have no other place. There are a lot of other random items like a printer that doesn’t work, papers, and “most precious mememtos.”
My mother used to tell me “take a trash bag and get it full.” So here is the empty trash bag. 1 month ago

I have this closet with items needed for work. I am really happy with it. I can choose any shirt and any pants and any shoes, and they are all in working order! I also have my 3 jiu jitsu kimonos in there. 1 month ago

DAY1
step1: take a bath and visualize doing this. -done

step2: make some tea, have caffeine nearby at all times. have healthy-ish things to snack on when you need a break? put some favorite cd’s in, play mp3s or turn on the radio, vary it up even. i’m thinking favorite workout songs or favorite songs to sing and dance to. -done

step3: take everything not on a hanger out of the closet, put everything on bed. -done

step4: figure out piles. the “little stuff” goes in a pile (socks, gloves, scarves, etc), that’s easy. -done

jeans -done

pants/shorts in another pile.

shirts? no clue… pile them and then sort through them again (tank tops, sweaters, short sleeve, half sleeve, long sleeve, whatever).

dresses and skirts -rehang. -done

laundry- throw everything in laundry room and deal with it later. -done

I have been promising myself little things like new hangers for the last 2 years. The difference it would make is bananas. Seriously. 5 months ago

So it’s that time of year again – Christmas. Which means that somehow I’ve ended up with a heap of Christmas sweaters and baggy jumpers in my room and I can’t get in or out of my room. And since all of the mess is clothes and I’m probably going to get some more come Christmas I’ve decided to organize my closet.

Wish me luck! :) 6 months ago
