Spring Cleaning Part 1

With spring (and college!) just around the corner, spring cleaning has taken on a whole new meaning for me. Especially with having divorced parents, duplicate items abound.

I've taken a bag to goodwill about every 3 weeks for the past couple of months, but progress on that front began to stall not long before my birthday. I did manage one final bag in the past month, though.

I forgot to get some true before pictures of my room, but it's honestly such a mess. The sad thing about it all is that I've been taking small stabs at cleaning, but I never made a big enough improvement to actually make much of a difference. At least, until this week. My goal is to stagger out the cleaning here until it's finished by the end of spring break, but I'm attempting to make the biggest difference before it even starts. Two weeks seems like more than enough time, especially when it's broken down into little chunks like this.

Cleaning Schedule:

Sunday March 11: Deep clean bathroom

Monday March 12:  N/A

Tuesday March 13: Go through dresser and closet, making piles for goodwill, poshmark, and keep. I'll have to make a list of the clothing I need before college as well. I can't survive on two pairs of jeans and 4 pairs of shorts.

Wednesday March 14: Closet drawers and the miscellaneous containers on the closet floor. I honestly don't even know what's in most of them, which is probably a bad sign…
