Are You Visually Blind?

The other day I had something happen that reminded me how we can be "visually blind' to our surroundings.

Does the thought of organizing your entire wardrobe make you groan and feel light-headed?  What to do?  Break it up into sections.  For instance,

  •  I'll put away my sandals and bring out my fall/winter shoes. 
  •  Next I’ll move the summer jackets out to make room for the year-round ones. 
  •  Then I’ll switch my summer pajamas with my winter ones.  You get the idea.
