organization challenge

My friend Amy is hosting an organization challenge over on her blog to get a space in your place cleaned up by February 29th. I think I can do this. I really need to do this. My desk is terrible. See:

Here’s my “to do” list:

• Throw away/shred all of the mail or other papers I no longer need.
• Clean out my filing cabinet and properly file away important papers.
• Get rid of the old books and magazines on my desk and in my room that I no longer need and donate them.
• Put away all of my computer and cds discs
• Put everything else away where it belongs (such as the cookie cutters, the duct tape, the Harry Potter mug, the Crate and Barrell plates that I bought last year, etc. that are all still sitting on my desk)
• Put my old phone up for sale on eBay so it’s not on my desk anymore
• Recycle the cardboard boxes I no longer need
• Properly set up my in and out trays for things I need to shred, things I need to file, things I need to take care of

Hoo boy. I hope I can do all of these things. It’s reasonable that I can, but I just have to put in the effort a little at a time! Thanks for the inspiration, Amy!
