Default Re: I am not an organized person

I feel your pain. I am the same way. I can share two things that slightly helped:

1) When my kids were young (like under 4 years old) I decided that every toy that had more than a few pieces had to go. (I kept a few puzzles that had more). I just couldn't handle all the cleaning up.

2) Filing - I read somewhere that some people prefer to take the time putting away, others prefer spending alittle more time looking for something (but don't want to spend a huge amount of time putting away). I am the second type, so I make systems that are very easy to put away into -- even if that means I have to look a little bit when it is time to find something. E.G. receipts are filed by month. I can look in Quicken to see what month I bot something -- then just look in the file pocket by month. I have to look a little bit to find it, but I don't mind.

If I don't have an easy system for putting away, I procrastinate and things pile up.

What is the smallest area you have to organize that would have the biggest impact on your life? Perhaps start there with just 15 minutes a day, and then success there will help you move forward.
