It’s March which means many of us start our spring cleaning routine. In Florida that means cranking up the air conditioner to clean the oven, but that’s not my point.<\/p>\n

I’ve talked in previous Organized in 365 posts<\/a> about using fifteen minute increments to get things done. I cannot tell you how effective this is over time.<\/p>\n

Spending fifteen minutes a day on a project will eventually lead to a completed project. It might not be finished in a day or even a week, but it will get done if you slowly chip away at the project, fifteen minutes at a time.<\/p>\n

In March, I’m committing to spending fifteen minutes a day on an organizing project. I don’t have time this month to dedicate an entire week or day to spring clean my house, but I can squeeze in fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n

Today I tackled my closet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Please excuse the crummy iphone photo.<\/p><\/div>\n

It is large and almost always a mess. Since no one ever sees it, it is not a priority. But my messy closet it costing me money.<\/p>\n

I’ve lost soccer uniforms, clothing, shoes, and other items because they’ve been buried in my messy closet. That changed today!<\/p>\n

In fifteen minutes I found all the soccer jerseys, clothing and a few other items I didn’t even know I was missing. I also got rid of a bunch of clothes I never wore or didn’t fit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finding the jersey’s saved me $40!<\/p>\n

Fifteen minutes of work for $40?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s an hourly savings of $160!<\/p>\n

Would you get organized for $160 an hour?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My closet isn’t finished, but in another fifteen minutes it probably will be. I’ll let you know tomorrow!<\/p>\n
