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 …
