Organizationally Challenged

I'll be the first to admit, I'm organizationally challenged. I am one of those people who would probably lose their head if it weren't attached at the neck (or however the saying goes).  I've been this way for as long as I can remember and as far back as I can remember my parents were always the same way.

It's time to break the cycle.

For a week now I've been doing real well with keeping the house up to par (or above par).  I know it isn't an awfully long time but it's a start.  I'm also a real good starter but not so good at finishing things.  I love to start projects of all sorts but I am horrible at following through.  It's time to add in some organizing.

I can do this.


I must do this.


My sanity depends on it.

Organization List for the coming week:

Monday-Desk
Tuesday-Pantry
Wednesday-Armoire
Thursday-Crafts/Sewing Corner
Friday-Laundry Area


Before organizing each space I must clean it out. Remove the things I haven't used in some time, get rid of things I know I'll never use, etc.  I'll buy necessary (and ONLY the necessary) items to organize each section.  My goal is to achieve these things while still keeping my home the way it has been for the past week.

Other goals for the week:

• Get printer cartridges refilled
• Re-do homekeeping schedule to better suit my family
• Go through homekeeping binder, re-do as needed
• Try 3 new recipes
• Read one book
• Pay library fines
• Work on bathroom

I've been down this road before

I have decided (once again) that it is IMPERATIVE that I become more intentional about my life (and therefore the lives of those around me).  I can't keep wandering through life aimlessly and expect to get anywhere!! Hopefully just getting my thoughts out of my head and onto/into something more visual will help. 

I don't expect this blog to become much of anything--at this point I don't even care if anyone reads it.  I've been down that road once and I'm not sure I'm ready to go there just yet.  The expectations I placed upon myself were unrealistic and suffocating.  Then life happened-as it tends to do :-) and I gave it up.  I was reluctant at first;  holding on with everything I could. Eventually I knew with all of my being that it was the thing to do. This blog is simply a place for me to get my thoughts out of my head.  No promoting but I won't hide it either.

Feels good.
