My task list for January includes lots of clutter control items.
Before Christmas the decorations in the attic were jumbled.
- Put away Christmas decorations
- Clear 2 bins from back bedroom
- Remove items from clothing closet
Most items are carefully stored.
I have carefully packed our Christmas ornaments for another year. In the process I was able to downsize the number of boxes by two.
A big area of the attic was cleared and cleaned in December.
All Christmas décor is together in one area of the attic.
Charlie hauled them up to the attic where they are stored, out of the way, for 10 months.
My bin collection had been cluttering the back bedroom.
I have 6 blue bins with a variety of contents, some have paper files — genealogy, renovation — others have specific items like first aid/health related items.
Only one more partially filled bin in the back bedroom.
I have finally collected like items and binned them and sent 3 bins to the attic. (Overachiever!)
Six items have been removed from my closet.
My last task was to remove 5 pieces of clothing from my closet. I have an almost full donation box in the mud room awaiting contribution to my favorite rummage sale.
The next area to clear in the back bedroom is the top of the dresser which has become a collection of disparate items. dresser
Seeing empty space in the bedrooms is freeing.
