To be honest, it took me a while to get into the mindset of organization with all the other thoughts going on in my head. However, once I got the ball rolling, I was all set. First, I dumped out out all of my tops, pajamas, and pants from the drawers. Then, I organized them by type, as well as specific color ranges. It was actually really fun! Mentally, I checked off the finished piles of clothes from the list that I keep in my mind. This made me feel in tune and controlled. After each pile was organized, I placed them in their corresponding drawers and hangers.
You'd be surprised how incredible organizing makes you feel! Not only physically, but mentally too. I looked through my drawers, and I couldn't believe what I accomplished. Not only did I arrange a massive amount of clothing, but I also did so in a short amount of time. The task forced me to realize that big things can be accomplished in a small amount of time, if I put my mind to it. Typically, my experiences with organization were always stressful. Probably because I've usually waited until last minute to clean out things like my closet. However, now I know that when you set goals for yourself and eliminate procrastination, organization can be a stress-free and enjoyable experience.
If you ever want any tips on organization or some cool means of doing so, check out Pinterest. They've got the best (and prettiest) ideas, like this one:
I urge you all to take part in some sort of spring cleaning project. No matter the size of the task, I promise that you'll feel relieved!
I definitely agree with you! Even though it takes me a while to get started, once I find that necessary push, I get into a sort of "organizing zone" and before I know it, my room changes from what looks like what was taken off of an episode of "Hoarding; Buried Alive" (that might be a sliggghhhttt exaggeration :)) to an actual bedroom! [Who knew there was actually a chair in my room and it wasn't just a pile of purses? ;)] Recently, I did my spring cleaning and stored away most of my winter clothing and organized my drawers; you are definitely spot on with what you said in your post. After you organize, you do feel accomplished. It really makes a big difference to look in your closet and see things arranged by color or style. Not only that, but it is definitely a lot easier to find things! Also, that's a great idea to use Pinterest as a website for organization ideas! I recently started using Pinterest via a suggestion/invitation from a friend, and I must say, I am hooked (I cannot stop looking at all the pictures of, well, everything! There are the coolest rooms, the most delicious looking foods, intricately decorated nails and fashion ideas and unbelievable places that I want to travel to!) Is Pinterest your favorite place for style/craft ideas or do you have any other recommendations? You are always very stylish so I would love to hear anything you can recommend. Thanks for the great post and I will be sure to continue to read your blog! You're post are a great read that I can definitely relate to or use for much-needed style (or really any) tips, recommendations or advice! Thanks again :)
