Get and stay organized

Give or take a few days. Second grade, here we come.

Today we’re off to buy school supplies, plus some stuff I need to get & stay organized in my role as PTO executive committee member and strategic planner, while still holding down a day job. In a week, we should be able to move the kid into his own newly-remodeled room, which means getting bookshelves and such to store his stuff.

Soccer practice starts in three days, and I’m trying to get everything else lined up & in a routine before then, so it can be added in.

I can almost see the top of my desk. Kitchen table’s next.

Declutter. Get and stay organized. Be more social. Own my own home. There’s definitely a theme going in my Things.

My ‘home office’ (in my kitchen) desk is visible at the moment. I’ve been pretty ruthless, tossing stuff that I know is useless, stuff I’ve held onto for no apparent reason. Some stuff that probably should fit into that category is at least stashed away where I might be able to find it should I need it. More likely, when I get to that stash in the declutter schedule, it’ll get tossed out then.

Really, I have little need for keeping paper records of AmEx bills from 2004. Really.
