Took an entire Saturday from about noon until 6 or 7 p.m Got rid of oodles of stuff — banana clips (remember those), hair gels that had long ago hardened, etc. — you get the picture.

Was exhausted at the end of it, but it felt sooooo good. And, because it had taken so long, I am now committed to keeping those areas clean and organized. Sure, I was tempted to just randomly toss my sandals in the closet recently, but then I remembered how long it took me to clean that closet and took the extra 30 seconds to put them back into their box.

I’m a total nerd — but each time I now open the doors to any of those four areas and see everything all neatly lined up, no clutter, no outdated items — I get a little bit of a rush!

I wrote a blog post a couple of years ago about how I started out just sweeping and mopping the kitchen floor and four hours later had: sorted and purged my filing boxes, cleared off and wiped down the top of the fridge, cleaned off all shelving/counters, done dishes, emptied trash... but had not swept and mopped the floor.</p><br /><br /><p>I'm an anti-pack-rat though, so I generally don't have much stuff to sort and purge. It's the cleaning I can't be bothered to do.</p> Oooooh, I can so relate.

I’m an anti-pack-rat though, so I generally don’t have much stuff to sort and purge. It’s the cleaning I can’t be bothered to do.

For future reference, other people pay good money for someone to come over to their homes and do just that. Seriously. Should you ever find yourself in need of extra money, you could totally, er, clean up!! :)</p><br /><br /><p>BTW - thanks for the example. I have a "to-do" list much like yours, and now I have motivation. (Only a little.....but I will take all the motivation I can get!) </p> Glad you had a good birthday.
