A place for everything and everything in its place<\/p><\/div>\n

I tackled the decluttering of my shed this morning. \u00a0I woke up and briefly debated going to the gym, then remembered I wanted to clean up my shed and get it organized, so I opted to do that. \u00a0 I did what works best for me when reorganizing: \u00a0Take everything out of the room, only put back in what you intend to be there, and have a plan before putting anything back in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My shed measures about 12 x 15 and I mostly store furniture and old files and good pieces of wood. \u00a0I’m always moving furniture in and out of the shed, into the house, into another room, and I don’t always put away everything I carry out to the shed. I began by taking the furniture out of the room and then began going through old boxes of files. \u00a0I now have a recycling bin full of files I’ve not needed for years, as well as a bin of trash full of \u00a0broken or unusable \u00a0stuff. \u00a0If I had 2 more bins I could fill them right now. \u00a0I swept the floor, moved furniture along the walls according to height, left all the electrical outlets visible and made easy access to the windows.<\/p>\n

I cleared off countertops and tightened the overhead lightbulbs and turned on the old stereo. \u00a0The biggest chore was moving all the wood and seeing what I had and making room for it out of the way. \u00a0I have several more boxes to go through and a few more recycling bins later I should be completely uncluttered. \u00a0Let’s see how long it lasts this time.<\/p>\n
