Why I’m Doing a Refresh of the 50 Weeks to Organized Project

Really, I could just post these quote-unquote “Before” pictures and call it good on posting today. But I’m nothing if not a little long-winded, so we just can’t have that. A brief summary for those of you who haven’t been reading this blog since 2013: Five years ago, I decided to tackle my clutter habits …

Life After My 50 Weeks to Organized Project (+ An Apartment Tour)

The fact that the years pass by quickly is a truth pretty much every adult has internalized, and it seems like every other week, I hit the anniversary of some momentous event in my life with yet another year tacked onto it. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how it’s been over a year …

50 Weeks to Organized: Week 49

50 Weeks to Organized: Week 29

Seeing as I saved most of my Big Projects for summer, it probably seems as though I haven’t been focusing as much on simplifying and de-cluttering as before, but that would be grossly untrue: in fact, this room I’m about to show you has been a constant project for me since I decided to do this challenge …

50 Weeks to Organized: Week 26

  Well, here I am: a little more than halfway through this “50 Weeks to Organized” business and wondering how much real progress has been made. I have learned an important lesson about decluttering this week though: I’ve learned that I can’t let “perfect” be the enemy of the “good enough for now.” When I started …

50 Weeks to Organized: Week 24

After my month of not worrying about anything organizational, it was a bit tough to come back to the game, especially when my spare bedroom looked like this: It is in moments like this that I know I should be mortified to post some of these “before” shots, but one of my number-one blogging rules …
