Default Organizing- At Least Three Times Around

It seems like I just reorganized the sewing/guest/office room a couple of months ago and it is already in need of another go-around. I now believe that the magic number for regorganizing isn't just 1 time, but more likely 3 times a year..maybe 4. Every time I go through the stuff, I purge things, but there's always a few items that I'm not quite willing to give up yet. By the third time, they're history...Gone. It feels so much better to have less stuff and be more organized.

Those small scraps of fabric that I've saved for 5 years, just in case I need them for a quilt...Gone
That small piece of batting that's never big enough to make anything with...Gone
Those extra bed sheets that I might use for backing but never do...Gone
Files from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012...Gone
Computer cables to computers that I don't even own anymore...Gone
Books I haven't opened in at least 2 years...Gone

Why I can't get rid of all this stuff the first time around, I don't know. But it sure is nice to have it gone now.

Happy New Year!
