It's kind of a game at my house... I'm always asking my husband... 'are you done w/ this? Can I get rid of it.. ?" :D

You should see MY drawer in the kitchen and the 4 drawers in the kitchen that my wife uses. I can't stand it and may force her to get rid of the crap this weekend. Thanks for the reminder to be ruthless.

I want to be like you when I grow up :D Seriously. This is my big 2012 goal, too many months of triathlon focus in our house left things in disarray! Do you have a month by month plan?

Woohoo for organization. I went through a huge overhaul of our house a few years ago. Selling stuff on ebay, donating, throwing out. People joked that they'd come over and we'd be using cardboard boxes as furniture. I won't lie, sometimes I wish that was the case. Simple. I hate clutter and crap. With my OCD I keep up with it pretty well and tend to do overhauls every 6 months

Ahh just what I needed to read! We are in serious need of simplifying. I have to admit, I have a lot of junk and need to start learning to toss some stuff out.

Putting things away and doing little bits of cleaning/organizing is the only way I keep my house functional. If we let it become a mess, that means some bill or "to do" item on the list has already gotten forgotten about.

So, not only making sure that everything has its place, but that it gets back into its place after we are done using it, is key.
