I haven’t posted a Studio Organizing Challenge in quite some time! I’ve simply been too busy with deadlines to worry about organizing. Thankfully, the mess didn’t get too much worse while I was in the throes of all that, but still, regular organizing DOES need to happen around here to keep things under control.

And what I’m doing for this month’s Challenge is what I feel is a necessary one:

Revisit a task you didn’t get finished earlier

Go back. Pick a task you never got finished with previously. See if you can get it done this time.

This is the only organizing challenge I’m offering during September, so you have plenty of time to revisit one, maybe two, or even three tasks that you did not quite finish the last time they were offered up.

I know the first one I’m gonna tackle is finishing going through my books and magazines. Today. Because our guild rummage sale is tomorrow, and I know I should have something to donate, and then it will be gone from my space. (The trick will be to not buy just as much to bring back home!)

After that, I’m gonna try once more to get my main work table cleared off. What a mess! It still looks pretty much like this (cat included) and so does my ironing board (and this photo is from July!):

And if I manage to get both of those tasks finished, I’ll look back through the list to see if there’s anything else I can tackle before the next organizing challenge in mid-October.

So how about you? Do you have some un-finished organizing tasks you can tackle for the next few weeks? Call it a “Fall Cleaning” — we probably all need one of those!
