I took everything out of my closet!
Week two- Get to the bottom of your closet
This week we will be purging and recognizing our emotional attachment.
Time: 4-5 hours
A few questions to think about when purging.
Do you save memorabilia from past relationships or from a person who moved away?
Do you need to keep the item because you need proof that someone really loved you?
Is that your reality?
Do you save stuff from the death of someone dear?
No One ever comes back and asks what you did with their possessions, do they?
Can you relate to any of these?
Are your clothes out of date, inexpensive, tattered, faded, worn, or stained?
How to take on your closet without getting overwhelmed?
A: Take out everything, think of the questions and only put back items you really want/need
A: be sure to have a trash bag
Your closeet is design to hold clothes what else do you have there?
Once your closet is decluttered it may feel empty, but its actual filled with open space!
Donate and/or toss items in 24hours.
After reward yourself!

This is my “room” after a quick pick up. I have a love/hate relationship with the boxes. (Link below)
I will be working on chapter 2 February Creating a Bedroom Sanctuary because September was meant to help organize the children's room, but it's hard for them to learn to be clean if their remodel is not clean. “Our contribution to the progress of the world must, therefore, consist in setting our own house in order.” -Gandhi
Q: How would you describe your room?
A: My room is a messy! Clothes are everywhere. I don't enjoy making my bed. My bedroom is also where I store extra items.
Q: Do you love your bedroom?
A: I love being in there. My bed is comfortable. I don't like the appearance though.
Q: Might I find you sneaking a snack while you read the Sunday paper in bed.
A: Yes and No. I will be in bed reading or watching youtube with a snack.
Q: Do you like to take naps?
A: Yes, I need and love naps.
Habit: return clothes to there correct spot everyday.
Week One
Redesign and restructure
Plan what you need to purchase, donate, or move.
Wardrobe: New uniform hangers or dresser? Purging clothes that don't fit or shopping trip?
Time: One and a half to two hours.
Journal questions
Q: Do you have an emotional disconnect with your current bedroom?
A: a little..
Q1: What kinds of sleeping arrangements did you have as a child? Did you have your own room or did you share with a sibling? Did you like the room and the arrangement?
A1: The first house I remember was a one bedroom, so I believe we all slept in the same room. When I was three or four we moved into another home. It had two bedrooms, and I shared it with my brother for two years. My parent made another room for my brother and from then on I had my own room. I was happy with the arrangements because my brother and I would argue a lot
Q2: Did you have a lot of control over the decor in your room growing up? Is your current room an outgrowth of that early style or had it changed completely?
A2: I believe I had some say in the décor after I had the room to myself. My mom was a bargain shopper and loved yard sales. We would go to yard sales and as long as items were fairly prized my mom would buy me the stuff I wanted. I would say my current room is almost the same. I still have a lot of stuff. I even have the same dresser growing up.
Q3: Do you like your current bedroom? If you do, be specific as to what pleases you?
A3: I just bought a new mattress and bed frame this year. I like the bed frame and how the mattress feels.
Q4: Are there things about your bedroom you don't like? Be specific
A4: I just don't like the stuff around the bedroom. I have boxes around the bed
Q5: Can the things you don't like be remedied easily? What are you solutions?
A5: I have many ideas. I first one is rearrange the furniture.
Q6: Is the room filled with things from you past? Why is that? If everything from the past has belonged to you, do you realistically still need it?
A6: I have tons of stuff. I will have to through my stuff.
Q7: Are you sharing this room with someone? How do they feel about your treasures? Is one person the dominant force? Do you now realize you have been a space hog? How do you think that makes your partner feel? If the shoe is on the other foot, can you negotiate with your partner for a more equitable setup?
A7: I live in the studio with my daughter. I try to keep an area for my daughter and for myself. Most of the stuff is mine though.
Q8: Do you notice that the past is heavily represented in your space, but it's all possessions that mean nothing to you? Are you the guardian of the past in terms of antiques, furniture, and memorabilia for your family?
A8: I used to have furniture that my mom give me (without askingif I wanted), but I finally got rid of it. Most of the stuff I have is my problem, and it's hard for me to get rid of it because I paid for it.
Q9: If you share your bedroom with your spouse, did you move into a space that he or she had lived in before? Do you feel you have been able to express yourself adequately? Or is it time to renegotiate? Ladies, have you made your bedroom so frilly and girly that your husband flees to the garage and his workbench at every opportunity?
A9: N/A I've been separated for about 5 years.
Make a plan
*list the improvement that can be done right away and a list of the stuff in the future.
Schedule the improvement in your calendar

A: Done!

Hi I am getting my life together one month at a time by following Regina Leeds book One Year to an Organized Life. Regina Leeds breaks down the whole house in 12 months. I read through the book in a couple of month when I first bought it. I didn't follow her all her tips, activities or journal entries. I thought 12 months was too long, so I read though everything thinking I just needed the information to get and organized. It has been a few years now, and I'm more disorganized then ever. The book has ran through my head many times, but I finally decided to find it and crack it open.
I am currently in the month of September, so I wanted to start on chapter 9 September Back-to-School Busy Season. In each chapter she created a habit to work on each month. September's habit is Positive self-talk. This habit isn't so hard because I know I can change, so I don't put myself down for the chaos I created.
One Year to and Organized Life also breaks down the months into weekly assignments. The first assignment is answering some school year questions. I will present the questions and share my personal answers below.
Q: Do you remember your school days?
A: A little, a feel its been a long time ago.
Q: Was this a happy time for you?
A: For the most part. I feel there wasn't a great routine in place.
Q: If this was an unhappy time for you can you be specific as to why?
A: I don't think it was an unhappy time, but I would have liked there to be a routine. I would have liked my mother to help me pick better clothes, and helped me with my hair. I feel my hair was always a mess and my clothes never matched.
Q: If you have siblings, did they experience childhood and school in the same way you did?
A: N/A
Q: How did the similar and difference affect you?
A: I haven't talked to my brother about this yet, but I feel it was a little easier for him because he is older and a male. I'm just saying this as the annoying little sister I am.
Joural: Write a brief summary of your school experience.
Response: I have great mother. I know she tried her best, but we never had great communication. She would work a lot, and she wouldn't have time to teach me many things. I didn't have the greatest hygiene routine. I don't know how to take care of my curly hair. I don't even remember who would wake me up. I'm not sure if I had an alarm clock. I know a few time my brother would wake me up. I know it was a struggle to wake up because I never had a set bedtime. When I finally woke up I would get myself ready in the clothes I had clean and in the style I thought was “cool.” I look back now and see I had a random style. I didn't worry a lot about my hair, because I didn't know to comb it right. I would have tons of knots that one day I cut off a big knot, so who knows what my hair really looked like. I am very luck I wasn't bullied. I had good friends. I had low self-esteem very early in life. It got lower when I realize I was overweight and was a lot darker then my friends. I did like going to school although I struggled with reading. I liked school more in seventh grade. I still had low self-esteem, but I kept myself busy with school activities. I was getting into a little routine, learned a little about exercise, dressing and styling myself a little better. My freshman I had the best routine I would wake around 5 o'clock in the morning take a shower, cleanse my face, blow dry my hair, apply my make-up, fix my hair a little with my cheap straightener and and run late to catch the bus.
Q: Do you have school-age children?
A: Yes, A 5 year old.
Q: Are you unconsciously trying to replicate your childhood?
A: Unconsciously yes. I keep myself so busy I'm not paying enough to my daughter in the morning. I do have her in a bit of a routine of getting herself ready, having her backpack ready, combing her hair and brushing her teeth.
Hi
Q: What causes you the most problems?
A: my biggest problem is lacking energy. It could/probably be from the Sleep Apnea
Q:What concrete things can you do to make this a better year for you and your children?
A: I want to improve my time management; I could try to wake up a little earlier everyday. I want to make more time to help my daughter get ready; I could try finish everything else I'm doing in the morning in time to help her. I can try a practice run on the weekends. Write down a morning a routine, so I don't feel confused when I wake up. I can make a routine and meal prep. My routine will need to have exercising and cleaning scheduled.
Regina's tips
*Plan food menus a week in advance and schedule time to shop for the ingredients

*get up fifteen minutes earlier to make breakfast
set-up night before:
*vitamins
*breakfast
*delivery a few time a per week

Q:Which activities must be dropped from this years schedule?
A: eating carbs
Q: What's on your personal list?
A: see to do list, write down negative thoughts, carry my notebook to write them down
Q: Are you passing along an army of negative self-esteem belief?
A: more about my looks
Regina's thoughts:
listen to your children speak
change the way you speak
pour into there souls
Activity: Write three positive ways to begin your sentences
Response: Please, can you... I would love it if... could you...
Activity: Three compliments you can pay your children.
Response: You did a fantastic job, thank you.. You look nice.. You're a good listener
“be the change you want to see in the world” -Gandhi
PERFECTION IN YOUR HOME IS NOT AN ACHIEVEABLE GOAL
Q: Have you ever been the mom who did everything?
A: I was when my daughter was younger.
Fear of failure might be the culprit: “if my home isn't perfect, what will people think”
..spend time healing, growing and being an example to all those with whom you share your life.
This charpter was meant to help organize the children's room, but I haven't organized my room. I will be working on chapter 2 February Creating a Bedroom Sanctuary.
