I'm having so much fun hanging out at the Inspiration Cafe and am thrilled to be sharing this organizing series with you.
So how are you doing on your New Year's Resolution to get organized? Are you like me, feeling like the clock is ticking away and you've barely scratched the surface of your organizational goals?
Well, there' still hope. Today I want to share with you a strategy for bringing your vision to reality. We are going to break our project down into manageable tasks. If you put "organize the garage" on your to-do list, you're going to find that "to-do" being bumped to the next week, then the next week, to the week after that. So, instead, let's approach the project one step at a time. For example:
I think my next step is to make a list: "recycle, shred, bills, respond, file" Then, determine what kind of receptacles would serve us best. What works for you? Next week, I hope to show you a picture of the finished space. Now that I've said that "out loud", I will feel some accountability and am more likely to get it done. Thank you so much for having me back! I'll see y'all next Tuesday to finish out the series. Feel free to come visit me at www.mrshinesclass.com between now and then. See you in class, Mrs. Hines

If you put "organize the garage" on your to-do list, you're going to find that "to-do" being bumped to the next week, then the next week, to the week after that. So, instead, let's approach the project one step at a time. For example:
Day 1: Get three boxes, labeled trash, donate and keep. Start going through everything in the garage and designating them to one of the boxes. Day 2: Throw away the trash and deliver your donation box to donation center Day 3: Determine how you use the garage. Look at what you're keeping and decide on the most practical place to store it. It may be helpful to draw out a sketch or use an online tool to create a plan. Day 4: Start organizing. Put everything in its place. Include a labeling system so that everyone knows where everything goes. If your kids are small, use pictures or symbols so that they can take ownership in cleaning too.My big task this week is to finish organizing the command center in my home. So far, I've cleared everything off of the desk. And I have rearranged where the calendar and message board hangs. Now, I have to work on putting the desk back together. The biggest problem being paper clutter.

I started trying to think back and remember the last time I washed our sheets. I didn't think it had been all that long ago, but I guess considering the fits of night sweats I'd had that week, it should have come as no surprise that my sheets smelled like onion.
