It is the beginning of a new year, which seems like a fitting time to set new goals and find focus in my life. 
I’ve picked my word for 2010: SUNSHINE — to me, that word embodies cheerfulness, optimism, confidence, positivism, hope, and happiness, all things I’m striving for this year. I’m working on Project 365. I plan to scrap more this year. I used to scrap 30 or more layouts in a month. I’m setting a goal to scrap 120 layouts this year (which reminds me, I need to find a fun tracker).
Anyway, along with the beginning of a new year and setting goals, it seems like a good time to get organized. I decided that I wanted to post a few snippets today on organizing, when I stumbled across this blog in my reader (I’ve been way behind, lol): Organizing Your Way.
And guess what I read on the post for January 2010? 31 Days of Organizing for a Better 2010.
Perfect! Exactly what I need, and I hope you’ll find it useful too! I love that the posts are organized into a list. And they’re relatively short posts — they empower you with advice and then leave you time to get that organizing started!
Yesterday’s tip: Declutter. Today’s tip: Create a Budget. Tomorrow’s tip? You’ll have to follow their blog to find out.
Before I leave you, I just want to share one tip I have on organizing: DON’T try to tackle it all at once. If your life is anything close to chaotic, like mine is right now with a rambunctious 2-year-old, it helps to set aside a few minutes a day for a specific organizing job.
If you have any tips on organizing you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them. Have a great Saturday!
Lists are a huge friend to me. I make lists on everything- a daily one and a weekly one to tackle. I check them off one by one and it helps keep me organized.
I totally agree!
i totally agree. never tackle everything at once. it only makes more chaos =)
I’m a natural list-maker and organizer…unfortunately, my DH is a bit of a slob. Add to that a 4yr old with too many toys, a BIG dog, and 3 cats…and our house is always in need of help. I ENLIST the hubby, and we tackle one room at a time (sometimes one room a day if it’s really bad LOL).
