    Good luck! I am going to do a new list too. I need new motivation! I think I will give it a week though just so I can get general stuff, that slid over the summer, done.

    14 things (physical, electronic and mental clutter) – the things I can control – Fall 2015

    1. C/O Actually file necessary papers in their file (work with DH to keep area around cabinet clear) – done 9/27
    2. C/O How many jackets do I have and really need – review entry hall closet
    3. C/O Sort out/organize info/rollover? 401ks – all the docs are in one place, still need to file/organize 9/27
    4. C/O Sort out/organize life insurance policies – all the docs are in one place, still need to file/organize 9/27
    5. C/O Make/replace feet/stands for rolling carry-on suitcases (I have 2 or more that have broken feet)
    6. C/O Discuss/remove/protect rogue rose bush in lawn near fence (I think it needs to go, we mow around it but the weeds are choking it) in progress, 5/29 decided to replant to another location but haven't actually move it. 9/21 a bit of a stall here, it is getting watered with the lawn right now and new location would require manually watering. We'll try to move once the promised El Nino arrives.
    7. C/O Summer’s going!, set up workspace in backyard for telecommuting days – 6/7 Dad brought over no-longer-wanted chaise lounge with slide out table. Will have to see if this will work. 7/1 DH rearranged patio to accommodate the chaise and found little table. Need to try out before aforementioned El Nino arrives! – ran out of time, calling this one until spring. Just need to bring in the cushion before it gets soaked.
    8. C/O Continue sorting pictures for 2016 calendar (done up to June) – 10/8 finished up to Sep!
    9. C/O Sort and rearrange items on dresser #1 - 7/15 "finished" except DH is going to build me shelves for that area so I'll be re-doing whenever that happens. I sorted, relocated and disposed. 9/14, this is getting a bit messy again, waiting for the shelves is pointless, need to redo so works for now, not just a holding pattern
    10. C/O Sort and rearrange items on dresser #2 - 7/19 Half-finished. 7/21 bought scrapbook box to hold overflowing art supplies – will help with this second dresser top immensely. 8/9 much, much better; just a few items to dispose/move. 9/14 becoming a mess again since I gave half the space to DH who complained when I moved his stuff off the jewelry cabinet. Need to rework my half.
    11. C/O sort and move items in front of dresser #3 – DH has valid complaint he can’t get his clothes out of this dresser due to my pile of stuff (mostly those carry-on suitcases without feet and other luggage sized tote bags).
    12. Jewelry cabinet – the cover was never screwed on due to missing screws. Take existing ones to dad and see if he has any (this will be the most efficient way to solve this, thanks Daddy!) Once I fix the cover, I plan to use this and therefore need to organize and also move the pile in front of. I moved DH's pile off (and onto dresser #2, there's an ugly pattern here).
    13. C/O Clean out and reorganize console area in mini-van (the mess there drives me nuts!)
    14. Reorganize and get rid of unwanted nail polish. I don’t wear it often and have a ton of oddish colors I won’t wear again. I need to organize, determine which ones to dispose of and then figure out where to send it (could just be toxic disposal, not sure). – 9/21 in progress by wearing each color until it chips horribly and deciding yea or nay. Had to buy more nail polish remover.

    eta - I'm so woefully falling down on this. Ugh.
