Organization is something I know that I struggle with. While I haven't reached Hoarder stage, I often wonder why the need to keep every single thing all the time. In the process of our kitchen remodel, I had to empty the room, each and every drawer & cabinet. When it came time to put it all back together I realized that so much of what I was holding onto I didn't really need or use. Some items I wondered why the heck I even had them, it was cleansing in a soul searching way to eliminate *stuff*.
My parents now are in the midst of a whole house remodel, the idea of out with the old and in with the new, while scary can be very liberating. So when we checked into our villa and began opening drawers and cabinets we realized that what was contained within were the necessities. There isn't a junk drawer or a cabinet full of items that are no longer practical or useful. In a word organized.
It has made me think over the few days we have been here about being more organized, what does that really mean? In the past its always meant that I organized all the crap I had. But what happens if I dig deeper, instead of just organizing a cabinet what if I remove what I don't need or use, what if I just keep the basics? How would that feel? I don't know, but I think i'd like to try.
What are you going to organize today?
