Today was what I call a two-fer - a two-for-one. I had my boy in his room and before he'd had his coffee. I hauled all the hangars out of the closet and proceeded to have him tell him which was his and which was his brother's. They share a closet but the older brother is gone and has taken most of what he cares about to college anyway.
I had worked through the summer bit by bit sorting and organizing their closet, boxing up older brother's special things for him to deal with later. We're assuming he'll have a different room in the attic by the time he needs those items, so it made sense just to box them up already.
I found a few coats and lots of jeans that are old. Some nice jeans that are too small for them we saved for the younger brothers and a coat that's very nice.
Total for donation or throwing away: 16 items
Total for the challenge: 317 items; Goal through today: 210 items
Remember you don't have to do all of this in one day. If you can't do this much break it down - one shelf in the closet is better than nothing. Don't let being overwhelmed paralyze you and keep you from doing anything.
Keep pressing on,
Steph
