I know that I haven't done the week one challenge yet of posting my pictures. I am having technical difficulties at the moment, but I WILL be catching up soon. I really do plan on decluttering my truly appalling looking teacher closet. I can barely walk in there now, it's scary! I sometimes think that the reason I can't upload the pictures I took is because even the Internet is afraid of my teacher closet...
What do I plan on doing with my "stuff?"
There are several new teachers and many hoarders at my school so I plan on donating my unwanted "stuff" to them.
What are my rules for Purging?
If I do not use it I will not keep it. If it hasn't been used in the last year it will be purged!
There will be NO boxes in my closet. I have clear bins that I plan on using for the stuff I do keep. That way I know what I have and where I have it. No more oh wait it would be cool if I can find this...where is it... I also will have supplies in baskets for easy access.
Everything will be labeled or visible (open baskets).
If I have it saved on my computer or Internet it will be purged.
What items have I gathered to make the purging easier?
I have gathered clear bins and baskets. I will use any leftover bins or baskets at my home for storage there. Thus avoiding the temptation to keep just because I have extra bins. Plus I only bought two small hanging file bins to keep that down.
Want to join in on the decluttering fun? Just go to the Clutter Free classroom!
Looks like you've got a good plan to start with! Keep up the good work and we will get through this and be all the better for it!
