Organization.. Is it in your life?

Wednesday - Jan 26, 2011

Every so and often, I have a day off work (well today I'm actually working overtime from 12-6pm, but whatever). And during that day off, I usually clean and do house chores and such. Before I had a roommate, my life was very organized, I kept everything cleaned, sorted, and such. I had to, because no one else was going to do it. Then in comes the roommate, and then you sort of lose that "want" to keep things clean because you'd figure that its not your turn or you'd expect them to do it or they say they'd do it or whatever else. Somewhere along the line the ball gets dropped. In thus, my life started to drag and my happiness of life started to deteriorate.



So, after I started living alone again and started keeping my life up and organized, going back to what I used to do, (clean twice a week), I've all of sudden feel better about life. Loving it actually. I organized my closet the other day, actually. Color sorted t-shirts on one side & button downs on the other, all shirts on white hangers, pants on blue, shoe boxes lined up in order from brands, shorts folded, boxes of misc stuff (belts, gloves, ties, etc), shoes on the floor lined up from color to type of shoe to brand, outerwear from thickest down.. Now I feel amazing. I wake up, go to my closet and bam. I know where everything is.. Its weird how a thing, such as organization, can make u feel...


So then it got kinda crazy.. lol I started getting all my photography receipts all together and stored in one place, I started folding my towels exactly the same inch per inch, and I color coated my hats, I sorted my dishes in the dishwasher by size, I'm about to reorganize my pantry (oh what fun that will be) lol I soft of went outta control. Anyhow. Maybe I went a lil overboard at the end. But you should just take an hour out of your day, organize your closet and you'll see the impact on how you feel. Trust.

Til tomorrow, I leave this question for my subscribers, "What kinda kooky things have you organized?"
