Sock it to me!
You know how, when your life gets a little out of control, if there’s one small thing that’s “together” and organized and working well – and you can count on it being that way every day – that there seems to be hope for the rest of your life?
Maybe it’s just us, but having a couple of really organized drawers makes all the difference in the world when we’re getting ready to face another day of chaos.
Today, go through your sock drawer and get rid of the socks that don’t have mates, the socks that have holes, the socks you never wear (because we all have some socks in funky colors, or that just feel weird, or that are some crazy holiday gift that fall into that “if I’m hit by a bus, I don’t want anyone in the emergency room seeing me in these!” category).
Get rid of the tights and nylons that have runs, or have funky patterns that make your legs look diseased, or that are really too small or too big – you know, the ones that have the crotch that doesn’t stay up, or that give your ankles elephantitis.
Then put back the socks you like in neat, logical stacks. Keep your workout socks separate, and maybe stack the rest by color or length or season.
With 15 minutes of effort, you can enjoy that sense of “all’s right with the world” every morning when you open your sock drawer.
