Storage closet is done! It really wasn't that bad. I pulled everything out on Thursday and grouped things together, like all the empty shoeboxes. Put some things in the donation pile. Vacuumed and dusted the tops of the totes. Put back the things I know I'm keeping like keepsakes. On Friday I took care the bowling balls, flattened all the boxes, moved a box of binders and folders to the donation pile, sorted through old calendars and gift bags, and pulled statements, receipts and tax returns from the filing cabinet and put in permanent storage.
I still have some binders (mostly), a cupboard and the file tray on my desk to sort. I think for now I'll leave those on my to-do list. I did make a timeline for the library. I now have ten weeks to tackle that room. The first task will be to organize that mess which is mostly the garage sale pile. I'll need to try not spreading that mess out too far on Thursday as I need the floor space to work out on Friday. I'll need to pull out the stuff that is not for the garage sale, but was maybe in the corner before stuff started getting dumped there. Then I'll consolidate the garage sale stuff in the bins and boxes so it's not spilling out all over.
The library is a bit overwhelming to look at, but I'll just focus on a small piece each week.
