My Current Project - Part 2 (Clothing)

So, things happen that keep me from working on my project on a daily or even weekly basis. But as that thing this time happens to have a name and a cute smile and just makes my heart happy, I don't mind that my project has been put off a bit more and thus will take longer than originally planned, I don't mind.

Then again, maybe it won't take so long. In the time since I began the project, I was reminded of the book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo (wherein she teaches her own KonMari method). I had to take a pause on the book because my audio was scratched and had to wait for another one to come in. And now I'm pausing on it so I can work on the things she has said before I forget anything.

So a week or two ago I started with clothes like she says. And I was able to get rid of 2 kitchen sized garbage bags (one to trash and one to Goodwill) and a coat and 2 formal dresses. I always do feel good when I get rid of stuff--you should see all the stuff I'm getting rid of at work! It just isn't something I always do, make time for, or want to set aside the time for. But I've known I've needed to, and I really love this book and how she addresses this very topic. Came into my life at just the right time!

Well, I finally got the book "back" and was able to get back to listening. And now I have to re-address the clothes because of the storing of them. She teaches how to fold and store some clothes, and how to do the closet. I actually have the closet pretty close to what she says, but I think there are more things I could fold instead of hang. So today I went through all the clothes to organize how they are stored.

And oh my word, it works!!! I got two drawers of T-shirts into one drawer.
