In my last installment on my entryway project, I talked about assigning homes to all of the things that live there — coats, hats, sports equipment, shoes, dressy clothes, and cold-weather gear.
Last Friday I packed up the books that I’m selling to Powell’s. I’m in the process of taking care of the donations pile; I already donated some of it, and the rest will be picked up on Monday by the Vietnam Veteran’s Association. I’ve set myself a deadline of November 20th to deal with the rest of the items in my “sell” pile.
The next step in the process is “containerizing”. I’ve duly ordered what I need from the container store, but it won’t be available until November 9th. While I’m waiting, I’ve decided to start writing up my personal organizing story, from its shaky beginnings four years ago to the decision to start this blog. Those posts will start appearing tomorrow.
