Transcript

I'm about to take every single book off of my shelves. This is going to be a long night. I pulled these 100 books off to donate last week and then we got hit with a massive storm so they haven't been able to be donated yet. But my shelves have been left looking like this. A whole mess. So naturally my solution to all of this is to pull every single book off, completely fill my living room floor with books, hate my life, then finally put everything back up and be satisfied. Let's start. I don't know if you can see, but there is organization to this chaos, but there is. Everything in this line is unread in and everything in this line is red. That's right. We are transitioning my bookshelves from alphabetical by author's to alphabetical, but within unread and read. And I pulled them all off alphabetically to make things simpler. So we're gonna go ahead and start putting the unread ones on back on here. That way there's not as much chaos on the ground and then we'll move on to the next shelf. I left huge gaps because I do have books to add in, knowing basically half of this bookshelf will read. Makes me feel better already. So we're gonna start condensing the red section over here, fully alphabetically, then we'll know the unread and again, I left space. It's hot in here. Actually, you know what? Go to part two. There's too much for one video.
