Total time spent, including break: 3h, 23m

This felt horrible, but I pushed through anyway. I’ve identified about 30 books I want to donate to the little free libraries. In addition, I have a bag of trash & a bag of recycling. Now it’s time to zone out! I earned it.
Exactly 6 months later. I needed something to do. This gray cabinet is like a sort of catch-all for me, so it’s time to have another go at it.

1) clear the floor for a place to put stuff: 3min
2) empty gray cabinet of everything: 6min
3) wipe it down, inside & out: 5min
4) start putting it all back: 30min
#break#19min
5) finish putting it all back: 42min

Start time: 9:18am
End time: 11:02am
Total time spent: 1hr & 44min

Notes: I was glad I wrote about it earlier so I could be somewhat prepared for it to feel not great. I identified 25 books to donate; down 5 books from the time before. Still too much stuff, but I did pull out a few things to trash & papers to recycle.

Next steps: list donateable books from shortest to longest for the ones I want to read first. Clean out containers. Organize books I’m keeping so the reference books are easier to access instead of organizing them by size.
