Organizationalitude continues

Now about 2.5 weeks in and I’m still cleaning every day. I’ve spent a week split between bathroom/back bedroom, a week in my bedroom, and am now three days into organizing the living room. I think a big part of my success to date is the mindset I was in when I started. I was fed up and ready to try something new. I think the reason I’ve managed to stick with it is the change in scenery each week thanks to zones.

I’m getting to the point where I average at least two 15 minute intervals on weekdays, more on the weekend. I’m still impressed by how much of a difference each one makes. I’m sure they’ll get harder as I repeat zones after getting rid of the easy and obvious stuff the first time around. I’m now getting sucked into the idea of buying more storage containers. So far I’ve resisted other than a much needed new file box, but odds are I’ll give in sooner or later. Ideally purchase number one should be a nightstand so that I can repurpose the two empty bins I’m currently using for that purpose.

This whole thing has been weirdly contagious too. Even places that aren’t in the current zone seem to become incrementally more organized as I go, as if by magic. And I’ve gotten organized in my shopping and meal planning. I’m becoming a grocery ad reader and a coupon hunter. It’s weird.

I think next week is supposed to be a zone for front porch, entry, dining room. Not sure what I’ll do with that. Part of that is the same as living room and there’s only so much I can do on the front porch. I guess I’ll figure something out…
