Change of Habit
So I have to begin by saying that I LOVE organization. Everything having a place and everything perfectly placed seems magical to me. The Container Store makes me swoon!......Having said all that, organized is the opposite of how I live. I put things in piles, lots of piles. I forget where I leave things then ransack the place looking for whatever it is. I have have good intentions but bad follow through. Well, mostly. I actually have a very well organized closet (though my sock drawer is a mess) and I have big plans. Though I'm not calling these plans "resolutions" I will say that I would like to put some of that organizational love into actual practice in 2011. Here's some inspiration for myself (and you too) while I plot to make it happen.
What are some of your organizational triumphs or failures? Not all clutter busting techniques work for everyone. I had a class in personal and professional management in college. The professor made us use 4 or 6 methods to keep track of what we were doing, plans, lists, etc. At the time I was really frustrated by all the redundant work for essentially keeping a to do list, but now I understand that she was exposing us to many different methods so that we could find the one that worked for us. Now I just need to find what will actually work for me......then maybe I can see the top surface of my desk again!

I am right there in the same boat with you. I love things to be neat, tidy, clutter-free... although my living space is in that state only maybe 5 days out of 30. The problem is, while I like living in a clutter-free environment, I also don't mind living in a cluttered one. I truly wished it bothered me more so that I would be more diligent about doing something about it! I have thought of you often the last few weeks as I have observed my state of disorganization, thinking how I am in need of your services!! :)
ReplyDeleteEmily I'm right there with you! I actually don't mind a little clutter. I like things to look lived-in. I think it gives spaces life. Call me and I'll come over!! I may not follow my own rules but I am great at creating them for other people!! :)
