The Plan:
- Raw clean up - I'm going through every inch and mostly just throwing away stuff. Out of all the clutter, it's amazing how much of it can just be put straight in the trash. I'm doing my best to stay away from the packrat thoughts like "you never know when you could use this" - if I never know that means I probably never will. (this the stage I'm at now)
- Inventory - a rough estimate kinda inventory. I'll put this together and categorize it - most importantly by frequency of use.
- Then I'll go back and get a rough estimate of the amount of storage space I have and categorize that, most importantly by how easy it is to get to (starting to see where I'm going with this?).
- Take the information from step 2&3 and decide what storage could be and needs to be changed. Get more shelves, re-do closet shelves, get the right kinds of boxes, get some filing cabinets and book shelves, etc.
- Virtually (on paper) fill #3 with #2. I'll try to leave the perfectionist in me out of this part and just do it roughly - it doesn't have to be perfect. It's more important for me to get the ergonomics right - having the things I use most in the places that's easiest to get to.
- Do #5 literally
- Profit
