One area of our house that I have claimed as my own is this side table next to the couch. It's kind of my command center for hobbies, devotions, homeschool planning, and whatnot. And it was kind of a mess.
Before:
Here's how it looked a few weeks ago. Pretty typical, stacks of books and stuff, with overflow onto the couch.
Middle:
In the middle, a week or so later, not much had changed, except a few of the books got switched out for new ones. Also, my devotion book always ends up near the bottom of the stack, which is a minor annoyance when I want to pull it out at night. And I usually knock some of the books down when I turn the light on. One of the big rules of organizing is to look at how things work well (or don't) and fix the problems.
End:
Okay, so not
too much has changed. But I put away some of the extra stuff, got my book stack down to one pile of to-be-read books, and my devotion book has its own spot so I shouldn't run into issues there any more! Also, my red bag on the floor, which keeps migrating slowly around the table in these pictures, is a blanket that I'm knitting. I work on that at night while Jesse and I watch random tv shows on Amazon (currently watching season 2 of The Wire, which is not as good as season 1).
And the green bin is library books that fit with our homeschool studies for the week. More about that in a post later this week! What quick organizing projects have you done lately?
