I wandered around the home this week trying to decide which area to dig into next. I have already hit most of the main “public” areas of our home. I finally decided to declutter the main floor closet next.

There is a lot of stuff in this closet. I decided the best way to tackle it is to spend 30 minutes a week at it until it is done.
I decided to concentrate first on these black shelves going up one side of the closet.
At the end of thirty minutes, I had two plastic grocery bags full of trash and this entire box of stuff full of items to take to the thrift store.
I managed to clean and declutter all the black shelves and refill them with items from the larger shelves.
In the process of reorganizing things on the black shelves, I found one of the wire shelves.
I think for the 30 minutes I spent I made a pretty big dent in the closet.
