I guess I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. I didn’t even realize it

Anyway, it’s call An Organized Life. There’s tons of stuff on the site and some things you can buy to help you get organized. There’s an organization journal, it’s pretty cool…it gives you a prompt every day and you write about it. It helps you to get focused.

One of the things I read on one of the pages was to do a little every day. Like, if you have a room that’s a disaster (like my office or our garage), then schedule on your planner to work on it for just 30 minutes, every day, or twice a week or whatever you can give to it. But SCHEDULE it, otherwise, it won’t get done. It’s great advise, because if you try to focus on doing the “whole enchilada” at one time, chances are, you won’t do it.

The other piece of advise I thought was fantastic was the aconymn SPACE. This stands for

S - Sort
P - Purge
A - Assign a Home
C - Containerize
E - Equalize

This is what we’re going to do tomorrow in our garage. I know, we’re not following the “do a little every day” rule, but we don’t have much more time to get this house ready and the garage is a REAL disaster. So, we’re going to get my orders out in the morn and then start on the garage (Brent’s day off!!).

After the garage is done we’ll be able to move my business inventory out of the the guest room. Our realtor said it doesn’t matter what your garage looks like but the house has to look spacious. We need to get rid of the clutter. And the inventory I have in the guest room COMPLETELY fills the room ~ people just wouldn’t understand. So, inventory to the garage, but first, clean or PURGE the junk.

Oh, I finally remembered to call Salvation Army today so they could come get all the left-over garage sale stuff. They’re coming on Wednesday. Yea!!
