Organize What?

One of my new years resolution was to spend some time organizing each day of January. So what I have I organized so far?

 1) Desktop papers: I cleaned all the papers off my desk. I filed them or got rid of them and now my desk is clear.

 2) Kitchen Island shelves: This is always piling up with miscellaneous when we want to clear the countertop quickly. I was able to throw a lot of away (candy canes from last year!) or put other things were they really belong.

 3) Kitchen cabinets: I've done two of these so far. I didn't do a full emptying more of a neatening. It is so nice to look  inside and actually be able to find what I want.

 4) A kitchen drawer: I was honestly scared of this drawer which held all our random kitchen utensils and knives. For some reason we never bothered to put in an organizer and as a result I was constantly sticking myself with a knife when I reached inside. Now its neat and I can grab what I want without risk of injury

 5) My alterations pile: So this didn't clean the whole closet but I've been piling up alterations for months. I started the new year with an appointment at the Alterationist (a really cute shop by the way) and cant wait to have jeans that I don't have to roll up. I still have so many places to clear up but taking organizing one day at time makes it much more manageable. What have you decluttered or organized lately?
