I have to admit when I first read Mari Kondo empties her pocketbook daily, I thought she was a bit crazy. Then I was at Target trying to pull out my wallet from all the junk that had piled into my bag since I cleaned it out the week prior. Maybe. Just maybe...she's not so crazy. With all the purging, I knew I had an empty box. One afternoon I plunged into the deep end and dumped everything out of my bag.
Now, remember, I had not completely finished my closet. I spent the next half hour rearranging my closet so I would have a shelf for just purses. I did have them in a hanging system on the rod, but it was behind the door and there was no space available for a box. Plus, I'd been toying with the idea of getting rid of it anyway. Out it went. An empty shelf was created and low and behold, a box filled with everything I usually carry in my bag at some point.
I have been using this method for about two weeks now. I love it! My bag is always clean. I can change bags depending on where I'm going or just my mood. To be honest, I only have five bags but they range in sizes so depending on what I need for the day I have choices.
I have a long way to go to finish organizing. Some days I am overwhelmed by it all. Then there are the days when I look at something and smile. And think, "that brings me joy".
