Dear FlyLady,

I just read your email about what a miracle 2 minutes of work can do, and it made me want to share my closet story with you.

I have been a flybaby for a few years now, and I’m happy to report that I am transformed and so is my house.  The final clutter frontier for me is my closet.  It was so scary and cluttered that I didn’t know where to start.

Finally, about a month ago, I thought of what you would say.  I imagined you saying, “Take one thing off the shelf.  Do you love it?  Can someone else use it?  Is it trash?”  That was the jump start I needed.  Now my closet is almost completely decluttered.  I can’t believe how much trash I was storing.  After 11 years, I also unpacked our final box from when we moved here.  Boy did I celebrate!  Now I only have one milk crate of photos that I’m going through 5 minutes at a time.  It’s a wonderful achievement and I thank you for teaching me how to be kind to myself!
