Getting Organized - Day 1

I'm taking the 21-Days to Getting Organized challenge over at a Bowl Full of Lemons.

This challenge promises to be filled with easy ways to get my life a little more ordered. Being that my husband is naturally organized, I felt I could try to be a bit more like him.



This ended up being easier than I expected.

Here's the before:
 Too many rubber bands (why do we have multiple bags of them????), owner's manuals, and menus in complete disarray. Purged a lot, moved menus and manuals to file folders at our desk, and voila,the after:
Like is with like, and only the things we need are here.

Looking forward to more challenges to get my stuff in shape.

Looks great! I could use a little motivation to get things back in order. Our garage looks like it could be featured on an episode of hoarders...Yikes! It's driving me crazy. I hope we get it all put back in place soon.

I did the same thing a couple of weeks back. It's amazing how such a small thing brings back order to the chaos each time I open that drawer and BAM! I find what I need!
