My clothes are some of my most prized possessions. I use them to express myself, and I see certain pieces as works of art. This is why I chose to clean my closet; a space filled with opportunities for organization. I made this task especially important because the seasons are changing, and I wanted to eliminate the clutter of my warm weather wardrobe and accessories.
Before the assignment, I felt overwhelmed and frustrated. I asked myself, "How is this possible to accomplish in 45 minutes, and where do I begin?" It took me a few minutes to gather my emotions. However, once I got the ball rolling, I was all set. First, I dumped out out all of my tops, pajamas, and pants from the drawers. Then, I organized them by colors: reds, blacks, pinks, blues, greens, and grays. It was actually an enjoyable process. Mentally, I checked off the finished piles of clothes from the list that I keep in my mind. This made me feel in tune and controlled. Just for kicks, I turned on the song "Cleaning Out My Closet" by Eminem, which really put me in the mood. Next, I grabbed the storage boxes from underneath my bed and put in my summer clothes. Though it was upsetting for me to realize that summer isn't coming back for a while, I felt relieved to make my closet efficient and ready for the winter. Lastly, I folded the remaining clothes and placed them into the drawers where they belonged.
After my work, I felt relaxed and cheerful. I looked through my drawers, and I couldn't believe what I accomplished. Not only did I arrange a massive amount of clothing, but I also did so in only 45 minutes. The project forced me to realize that big things can be accomplished in a small amount of time, if I put my mind to it. Now I know how incredible organization is. Previously, my experiences with organization were always stressful. I believe I felt this way because I've always procrastinated when it came time to getting organized. However, now I know that when you set goals for yourself and eliminate procrastination, organization can be a stress-free and enjoyable experience.
