The project that laid before me was to organize me closet. This, well, was not going to be an easy feat. The aftermath of an atomic bomb could be equivalent to the mess that stood behind those doors. I was hesitant at first to actually do this. I thought about just writing the response and not doing anything but, after some reflection, I realized that cleaning the chaos would be for the better.
It took some time to pull myself to start the retrieval. I always seem to clean a mess by making a bigger one. I pulled out the junk that was at the bottom of my closet and and organized it into clothes, garbage, and stuff that needed to leave. This step took some time but was fairly simple and was done with ease.
Then I removed the junk off the shelves. I knew my clothes on hangers were fine where they were so I didn't need to organize them. The amount of stuff that was on top in my closet was much more then I thought. I found a whole bunch of camping and climbing equipment that I thought I had lost. I then again organized between needed things and unnecessary goods. The objects that I wanted to keep I rearranged and put back in groups of likeness. Books with books. Games with games. Climbing and scouting equipment all together.
In the long run it didn't take that much time at all. The clothes, which made up most of the mess, were put into the laundry to be washed later, into the hand-me-down bin (every year my family sends clothes that I can't fit into anymore to family friends children) or they are cut into rags. I cleaned it up and it looks super nice. I even had extra time to organize my hangers.
From this I realized that if you don't think about the work and just do it it goes by faster than if you worry and let is consume your mind.
