Organizational Challenge?

[hopemax]

So my scrap room looks like a bomb went off. Worse than normal, and I'm having a hard time getting in the mood to clean it up. So I was thinking about tackling one type of item per day, until it was done. And then I was wondering if anyone else would like to participate too.

I could post the item we are supposed to tackle, and we can talk about how we store that item, and get ideas.

Some items, like paper, would be a multi-day process. Like

Day 10: Collect all the paper
Day 11: Sort into Cardstock and Patterned Paper and Scraps
Day 12: Organize and put away Cardstock
Day 13: Organize and put away Patterned Paper
Day 14: Tackle Scraps or decide to just toss them

There is probably 30 days worth of items. I would post them one a day, starting tomorrow. I won't post new items while I am in FL, so that would give everyone time to catch up. But maybe, by the end of February we could all have clean and organized scrap spaces!

Bumps MO2DK out of the way! I so need this!!!

But you know the part that gets me the most is the stuff that doesn't really have a category.

Hey- Hope I keep meaning to ask when you will be down- I was thinking about seeing if I could meet up with you when you are here.

I'll play along, but my room needs so much more work than just scrappy stuff! I have stained glass and jewelry going all the time too. I'm working on having stations for each craft type.

My first Project 365 was the pic of my messy corner, and my 2nd pic was the corner cleaned up. I was so proud of myself, and even DS20 came in and said "wow, I can really tell"

Count me it!

It took me 2 days to just clean all the stuff that was in the floor of my scrap room - now all the patterned paper is stacked up!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

psst MO2DK....she really meant to use THIS smilie -

I have organized my paper and put it where I can now see it all. I had stacks and I mean stacks of paper hidden under a cabinet. I'll take a photo of new area. I just did the carts. I still need to label my stamps. I had lots of paper scraps, but now Mickster has to find a home for them.

I'd be up for trying some of these.

Good, I am glad other people are excited for it.

I think I've decided, I will post one thread for the challenge, and in the first post make the whole list. Each day, I will color/bold/increase the font size with that days task. That way people can work ahead/catch up depending on if they have that type of stuff or not, or get on a roll or something. Then I will make a post each day, with tips, and a photo of what/how I did for inspiration.

And I will try to figure out some clippies so we can reward ourselves.

Great idea. I need to clean up my room too. Right now, I have parts of my husband's pool table on the floor in my scrap room. This doesn't have to be consecutive days, does it? I work 3 out of 7 days, so I can only organize on days off. But it must get done!

 

[hopemax]

I will post consecutively, but no you don't have to work everyday if it doesn't work for your schedule. That's part of why I decided to post the entire list at the beginning. I figure some of these would only take 10 minutes, while others might take an hour. So if you want to do 3 quick things all at once, so you can have an extra day later to break up a larger task, you can. Or double up one day and completely skip another day.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Yep, I'm in, too! Organization is something I SO need!!

 

[pjlla]

Well.... I'll jump in, but (and I duck when I say this).... I am generally a very organized person. Chances are I won't need to do many of the things on the list. But I can definitely work on straightening up some of my stuff. And I so agree with the PP who said the toughest things are the things that don't really have a place!

My biggest challenge is keeping other people projects away from my area! I usually have to remove Legos and homework supplies from my table if I want to scrap.

I'll definitely try this out, but don't be mad at me if I don't need to do the things on the list .....................P

Yes! I am in!! I work much better when I have specific goals.

Ohana4, are you another 12 hour shift person? You sound just like me - work days are just completely blocked off in terms of getting anything done.

Yep. The days I work, all I can do is sign up for swaps late in the day. No energy for anything else.

I thought I remembered that you were - I'm a pharmacist, also on 12's. Long days, but I love all the days off!!
