Organization - One thing at a time

I live in a state of chaos. The older I get, the more it bothers me. So it’s getting to the point that if I don’t do something about the clutter, then I could lose all sanity.

To tackle the problem all at once would be a daunting task. In fact trying to do it all at once will literally drive me insane. Today I’ve decided to list everything that needs to be organized and then prioritize the list.

One of our problem areas is our board games and card games. My husband has a tone of Magic the Gathering cards which he is willing to sell a lot of them but will probably keep at least 25%-50% of his collection. I’m thinking that our games and cards will be the area I focus on this weekend. My solution involves buying a storage cabinet. I had thought a bookshelf would serve our needs well but like the idea of a cabinet better. That way I can just close it up, not looking at the clutter inside should it get messy. When a bookshelf is cluttered, it is on display. At least a cabinet can be closed, hiding the mess inside.

We’ll see how it goes. I might change my mind altogether once I see what cabinets are available locally.

About Housewife

I'm a mostly stay at home mom who loathes cleaning, cooking, and anything that remotely might be described as housework. I love trying new products and sharing household tips that save time and energy. Sure, I could post a ton of tips that I've read or found on the Internet, but I prefer to use tips and hints that I actually use.
