31 Day Organizational Challenge – Day 12

Today's challenge is to clean out the junk drawer.  Mine wasn't in too bad of shape.  Here is the before photo:

I took everything out, wiped out the drawer, cleaned out and organized the drawer organizer & the take out menu organizer, and put almost everything back in it's original spot.  I was able to find a location for the push pins in the drawer organizer so I was able to get rid of the box for that and I relocated the mouse.  We don't need him in the kitchen any longer.

Here is the after photo:

I realize there isn't much difference but I needed an easy day.

31 Day Organizational Challenge – Day 9


I’ve reached that age where I need contacts and reading glasses.  But, I haven’t figured out exactly how to shop for reading glasses, mostly because I haven’t really tried, but the day is approaching quickly.  Anyway, over the weekend I optimized my computer’s visual display – In other words I made computer “large print.”  In doing so, I also made the need to clean off my computer desktop more immediate.  Although, I no longer have to squint to read the icons on the screen, I have so many (unnecessary) ones on there, several of them are now stacked on top of each other.  So, today’s challenge is to clean & organize the computer desktop.

1.     Take down, organize and put away all of the holiday decorations.
