Mission Organization - Week 1

The above photos are items added to our Goodwill pile this week. For 15 minutes each day, I chose an organizing project and got to work. So far, I have gone through my clothes, our DVDs, one of our kitchen cupboards, and our bookshelf to determine what we use and what things can be given to Goodwill.

It's pretty satisfying and liberating to be cleaning out like this. I oftentimes get weighed down by stuff. Each item I put in the Goodwill bag represents one less thing to worry about, one less thing to mend, and one less thing to dust. :) I like that.

Don't worry, I'm not going to have an empty house by the time I'm done with January. I'm making sure to keep plenty of things, some of which are unnecessary still.

Also, here is a picture of the shelf I organized last Saturday. The boxes contain my canning jars, ready to go for this summer!
