52 Weeks to a More Organized Home | #8 The Junk Drawer(s)
Your additional challenges this week:
- Try to turn at least one if not more of your “junk drawers” into a drawer with a purpose this week!
- Let’s keep returning things to their places. Make it a habit this week to grab one thing from a room before you leave that doesn’t belong in that room and either return it where it belongs, trash it, or add it to the donate box.
- If you’re doing the 2016 Clean Out Challenge you should have tossed around 280 items already and you’ll need to toss out about 40 items over this week.
- Some things to note about the clean out challenge, while 40 items sounds like a lot, it doesn’t mean it has to be 40 things of any great size or value. Did you find 7 old receipts in your junk drawer? That’s 7 items you just threw away! It doesn’t matter how big or small, if it goes, it counts!
- I have a notepad on the fridge and put a tally mark for every item I toss so I can keep up with how much I’ve gotten rid of so far! I’m a little behind at only 200 items.
