That is what I asked myself more than once yesterday. In the morning I gathered some of my favorite storage containers to share at my “Clear the Clutter!” workshop. That meant emptying stuff onto the floor, in a drawer, in a cupboard, etc.
In the afternoon as I prepared to leave for Panera (yes, teacher and attendees ate in!) I kept finding all these messy drawers. For a split second, I was thinking, “Hey!…”, then I remembered why things weren’t properly corralled. I had to sort through other stuff to find what I needed. I also went to reach for things that were not in the proper place and found… air. Frustrating!
The experience was a good reminder of just how freeing it is to have homes for my belongings. That home is more than assigning a drawer or cupboard. Containers are essential to keep like things separated and easy to spot.
I spent my morning putting things back in order. Whew! Glad to have my neat spaces back!
