be more organized

I moved to the UK and got rid of loads of clutter when I did that. Now I’m preparing for another move and it’s definitely easier as I’ve been making a real effort to keep everything organized.

I must continue to be more ruthless and get rid of clothes I don’t wear, books I don’t read, etc. I’ve also been making more use of libraries so that I don’t end up with a great pile of books and have been avoiding clothes shops so that I’m not tempted!!

I became more organized this past year when I moved to Canada- moving meant getting rid of loads of stuff, so I had less to keep orderly! I’m really neat and organized at work (other people comment on it!) but home is different, as I have more stuff. Specifically, lots of books.

I’m planning another move again soon, this time to the UK. I’m going to have a major declutter soon, as paying to ship everything across the Atlantic is a major incentive! I’m hoping that as I have less stuff, it will become easier to stay organized….

I’m trying to get my paperwork more organized, especially that relating to my banking. I’ve stopped paper statements so that I just check everything online and I’ve sorted out somewhere to keep receipts so that I can check them easily and keep them organized. I think once I get a system up and running, it should be easier to stick to…

I keep thinking that I should become more organized some time and that time is now!! It looks very likely that I’ll be moving to Canada at some point in the next year and I have a lot to sort out before then.

I’ve started at work as well- I tend to let my filing build up until it’s no longer needed and can just be shredded!! However, I’ve spent the last couple of days sorting it all out and actually filing it away. It feels really good to be more organized!! I must now try and be the same way outside work.
