Pat, one of my GON readers graciously allowed me to share this with you, along with photos of her organizing project. I'm so happy for her success! Here goes...

I finally did it!

I started cluttering up my late husband's bed shortly after he passed on seven years ago, and it just kept getting worse.

My college helper cleaned most of the carpet in the master bedroom on Monday after I moved lots of boxes and a chairdrobe (a chair on which someone stores clothing that has been worn but which is not yet too dirty to wear again) out of the way. She's coming again today and I want her to move the beds and get under and behind those too, so I finally had to address the bed.

Here is what it looked like to begin with, and my progress with three 15-minute microbursts. The timer stopped ticking on the last session, so it was a little longer, but it was done in less than one hour total.

I mostly just moved things to another area, and still need to find homes for the items later, but I did put a few things away as I went, and I'm very excited about the progress. My cat Maya is excited too, and had to explore this new territory!
