Decluttering, however, will never end. Sorry. As long as things come into the house and as long as we have limited space: some things will have to go out. That's just the way it is. I have been trying to declutter something (or some area) every week.
This week, I decluttered the sock bucket.
Whenever I do laundry, I try to pair socks right away. But because I do only one or two loads a day, the socks can become easily separated. Once in a while, I give my daughter the sock bucket --to pair up socks while she watches TV. But, as you can see, it was time for me to tackle the job.
It only took me ten minutes:
I tossed eight stray single socks (not pictured).
That was too easy--and now I feel like I got something accomplished!
I dislike matching socks so much that we now use sock clips. I've loved the clips, much easier to match the individual pairs than a pile of socks after washing.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway I totally agree, decluttering is never done. Although you can create bit of buffer when you declutter a lot once in a while.
I so hate sorting the white socks--mostly because I cannot track which ones belong to who--that I've refused to do it anymore. I throw them all in one basket. Anyone else in the house who wants their white socks can find and match them themselves!
ReplyDeleteI love that, Rita (Grace)! I've never heard of sock clips.
