Re: I am not an organized person
What organization systems have you tried?
Different ones work better for different people. Some people find Flylady very helpful. Others use...Motivated Moms? I think it's called? |

Re: I am not an organized person
Are you finding that you do a ton for a few days and then burn out and don't do anything?
If so, following some kind of plan might be really helpful for you. |

Re: I am not an organized person
Do you have a friend who will help? I say this because I love to organize and help others do it- it's like fun for me, but I'm not local to you. So do you have a friend like that?

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.

Your house looks really cute and non-cluttered. Do you think painting or some artwork might help make you feel more connected to it? I could totally see some orange in your living room.

Maybe a big canvas then painted a fun color or a thrift store throw/scarf hung on the wall. Heck even have the kids do some art and then paint thrift store frames in bright colors. Instant cute art

Re: I am not an organized person
got the downstairs cleaned up, managed to get the kitchen looking somewhat decent, almost got all the dishes done minus the griddle and a few pieces of silverware. I need to really scrub down the bathroom, and i need to clean my room , in an attempt to bring out fall clothes for the kids...ive managed a clothing hurricane. Also I need to bribe the girls into cleaning thier room. My porch is getting cluttered with all the stuff I am getting rid of...
have someone comming to look at the washer tonight...really cant go without that much longer... running outta clothes. Also i need to do a good scrub down of the fridge sometime before the first. ...Ive been eying some furniture on craigslist...i dont have money Im a window shopper. but I am so parniod about bed bugs. Some of the stuff is a really good deal too, but how would someone feel if i inspected it over for bugs??? not that thats what i would say i was carefully looking it over for... Also My room is Bare... and I think it needs some character. thats about it for now. ---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ---------- all dishes done, ---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ---------- ooo and i made a real dinner* chicken breasts, boxed mashed potatoes and canned peas....aaa dishes.
