mission declutter and organize

I had a feeling I wouldn't get around to doing these updates every day... but just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything. Granted, I've done decidedly less than I wanted to this weekend... but at this point, any progress is progress!

Today I did:

• Two loads of laundry (and I did a load yesterday that spent the night in the dryer) and put them away.
• Put the winter coats into the closet, and organized the closet.
• Picked up random stuff left around the dining area.

Goals for this week:

We surprisingly got quite a bit accomplished today... Though the vast majority of today's chores don't necessarily greatly alter the clutter in the photos.

• I did a ton of laundry. I started some of it the day before, but finished the job today. Just about everything was washed, dried, folded and put away. Considering that I typically slack off on the putting away part, this was huge! Laundry also included changing the bed sheets.

I'm a clutter bug and a pack rat. If you took a look at my parents house, you probably wouldn't be surprised that this is the case... I pretty much was raised by parents that were that way and are probably far worse cases than I am... For the most part, I'm seemingly unbothered by this... I can exist in a messy space without feeling much shame or concern... but every once in awhile, I just snap and feel that things NEED to be organized, clutter needs to be dealt with, and order must be brought to my space.
