Why do you want to do this?

I am tired of losing things. When we are finished, every single thing in our house will have a place and there will be more places than things.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Boxes to sort and organize.

Uninterrupted time to sort (ie. someone to help watch the baby)

The desire to simplify dramatically, taking pictures and letting go of stuff, realizing it is just that, "stuff!"

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Sentimentality and the mindset that I might need it...someday!

We have done quite a bit of organizing this last week and is has improved our lives dramatically!  We feel less inhibited already.  I have had a house full of people multiple times over the last couple of days and haven't been afraid of which door they would open.  We have one last room to conquer - our bedroom.  After that, we will celebrate and do something fun on the weekend for a change.  It seems like anytime we are home we spend it cleaning.  Now cleaning takes so much less time and is so much more effective than before.  It is easy to get into the "he who has the most stuff wins" mentality but I am beginning to think it is actually more the opposite!
