Organizing obsession
4.19.2007 6:34 AM \| Link	My recent efforts to organize and get rid of stuff are really becoming a happy obsession! It feels so good to work on this stuff, since I really wanted to get going on this last year, but I managed to let my time slip away. Now I'm so excited that it's tough to decide what to do in any given moment! My latest idea has been to drastically reduce the space taken up by my CD collection. Years ago I took the step to throw away all my jewel cases, and I bought lots of nice leather CD binder cases for my collection. Now I've decided those are too big! My new plan is to use simple two-sided CD envelopes, and then cram them vertically into CD boxes (I have been storing my burned DVDs like this already). I was up until after 1:00 AM last night emptying the last of the binders, resulting in around an 80% reduction in required storage space! (I can definitely see myself moving toward the all-digital utopia of the future.) I also decided to throw out a bunch of magazines, and I even dug into the souvenir bins. Barron took a ton of old Pokemon toys for his kids (hope they have fun!), and I gave Ryan a few Star Wars things. Most of the other stuff was Happy Meal toys that I just don't need, so I'm just going to break some collectors' hearts by tossing them. Later this week I'm going to move the empty bins into one of my closets to store office supplies - each project just feeds another one! Labels: decluttering, life
