Be more organised

Have reorganised and tidied up work space which makes me feel much more in control.

Have spent time organising office and home. Home still needs more work and general decluttering.

I seem to get more organised in one area of my life and then another area becomes more disorganised – bit like trying to keep lots of spinning plates in the air – if you concentrate too much on just one then the others come crashing down.

Need to have a good think and come up with a plan for this – my life is pretty hectic with loads of different deadlines to be achieved during the course of 24 hours. To manage to do this I really need to identify which areas to focus on first and then try to maintain them while organising the rest.

Think I may need to simplify my life and declutter and that will help me focus.

Am over-run with work at the office – today has been much like being in a boat which is sinking and trying madly to stay afloat by scoping out the water!

Have consciously tried keep head above the waterline by creating a new system to organise all the different pieces of paper, e-mails and queries which have headed my way en masse. Will aim to stick to the system for at least a week and see if I am generally more organised at the end of it. Boring but essential if I am to stay sane I think.
