I am in the office this week - considering taxes are coming up. I was disappointed when I looked at all the things I planned over the last year regarding crafts that needed finishing. I did nothing but I have to realize that unless I plan it in my month I won't touch it.

I brought home for filing and scanning my uncles stuff

This week seems to be closet focus. I should write these on my calendar so I don't have to look up when I've been away and off track.

I am going to call the local closet company for a quote on the closet dh has wanted, and I'll try for some decluttering in our MBR closet. "Stuff" in there that I stuck there when we moved in, thinking I'd reorganize later and here were are, over four years later with that "Stuff" still there.

I know it's already Thursday, but if I can get my mind back on it perhaps I can get up to speed for next week. (going to look it up and put on my calendar...)

Into February... ...

1/30/2017 closets
2/6/2017 laundry
2/13/2017 storage
2/20/2017 outdoor
2/27/2017 kitchen

for my house, I replaced "laundry" with an additional "office" this round. But did leave closets in the line-up. I just don't have anything to do in laundry area, or can add the little that's needed to kitchen. And office - the whole concept of it - is where I'm going to find my gratitude for time spent. "Closets" is not a lot, but I sure can't say it's not needed.

Good luck on organization and closet spif.
I had used P and P as an example of a strategy, when I posted declutter thread for this month. Harmony was chatting about that in terms of the 15 minutes for declutter idea. I think small amounts of time would just handle maintenance - at least works that way for me. P and P were pretty serious about how much time declutter would take, at least until you got it under control the first time. What I see is that ordinary life events, like holiday or change in kid's lives, or various crises that are bound to come, send me back to the "not yet controlled" part. :roll:
