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 …
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 …

Surprisingly, I actually ended up getting most of it done over the weekend instead of procrastinating it all until the last …
Okay, let’s be real for a moment: I’m having a really hard time keeping up with this whole “50 Weeks to Organized” project. No, this is not an “I’m going to give up” post–this is an “I’m finding this whole process a lot harder than I thought it would be and a lot of the …
