Organization 101

Organizing My Life

Part One: Starting Small

Believe it or not I quite enjoy organizing.

But I do have to be in the mood for extreme organizing.

The hard part (for me) is not the organizing but the keeping it organized part.

But I kinda sorta made a vow to myself to organize my life.

My organizing bible is Maria Menounos's The Everygirl's Guide To Life

I have a bajillion books, so of course I have one about organization. 

She talks not only about organizing your house but your time.

But this post is all about starting small.

I feel like everyone has a pen drawer, a pen bag, or something.

Some of these pens I have had since middle school.

So I went through them all and wrote on a pad of paper with each pen to make sure they worked.

Any pens that didn't work I tossed (duh).

I took the working pens and markers and put them in a cheapo walmart tub.

Small victory.

Now this isn't pretty organized but believe me, its better than it was.

For some reason we got into the habit of just throwing the things under the sink.

So I went through it all and tossed all the things we never used.

& I put on the counter all the products I never finished and feel too bad to throw away.

Another small victory.

I think if everyday you just organize something little it will add up to something big.

oh, and you definitely start feeling pretty good about it to.
