My definition of purge – sell, donate, repurpose or throw away items as you see fit
Shoes
We don’t wear shoes in our home, so all our shoes are kept together in the garage. Considering there are 5 of us, 3 being females we are running out of space quickly. I do need to come up with a better solution but in the meantime I need to go through the whole families shoe collection and purge shoes that no longer fit or won’t be worn again (my girls get so picky sometimes).
Re-organising this garage is on my t0-do list. It’s just not working for me, I have a vision for it to function so much better and also a place to store away items we do’t use often, freeing up space in the house. I purchased this rack system many years ago from Howards Storage World. School shoes are on the kids shelves with their thongs and other shoes in the baskets (from ikea). I keep all my ballet flats and thongs in the baskets as well.
Todays task is to:
Sort through all the shoes in the house, kids, your partners, yours… everybody’s! Purge those that no longer fit and really consider those that have not been worn for some time, do you really need to hold onto them? Are you not wearing them for a reason, don’t like the style or they hurt too much when worn?
How many items have you been able to purge today?
