Over a year ago, I was getting rid of stuff at home that I didn't need and reorganizing the stuff that I wanted to keep. I then went on what I didn't know was my last trip with my ex-guy. Since the breakup, I haven't had the motivation to reorganize my stuff and pick up from where I had left off.
I am motivated now.
On Sunday, I looked at all plastic bags that I had thrown into multiple bags and folded them up. They are now organized by size. I also found my iced tea flask. I will be brewing iced tea with a bunch of tea bags that need to be used.
I folded all my panties and bras in my drawer the way Marie Kondo does hers. I will say that it's such a major improvement and I have a nice, cheerful collection of panties and bras. I'll be doing socks and pyjamas next.
Finally, I have been converting earrings with French hooks over to leverbacks. I don't like the former because the hook part jabs into me when I wear them and I don't like the tiny plastic backings on the hooks. The conversion is pretty simple. I need to reorder more leverbacks.
I like that I have various projects on the go. It's great that the time that I used to spend commuting to and from work is put into tasks that are meaningful.
Sounds like time well spent.
ReplyDeleteI on the other hand, LOVE the hooks and have converted a lot of my stud earrings (the ones that will work with it) to hooks. The thing is, that little plastic thing isn't meant to be worn - they're just supposed to keep the earrings on the little plastic hangers that they come on when they're hung up in the store :)
That's cool. I wish that French hooks worked. I use the plastic stopper things because I tend to unhook those earrings if I don't. I'll take my scarf off and my earring goes with it. I'll put on or take off a t-shirt and it goes. Hook earrings and me do not get along!
DeleteI haven't tried converting stud earrings to leverbacks. Luckily, I don't have too many, but losing those backings is a pain!
Oh, that had me giggling. I don't usually have a problem with getting my hooks caught on clothing. But since you do, then it's probably wise that you changed them to the leverbacks (which i just cant work with my fingers for some reason - i have one pair like that and i always take 10 mins to get them on!)
DeleteIt's weird that I am perfectly fine with leverbacks, but I can't text accurately because my fingers are huge... lol
