organize

I like to be calm and serene. The best way to achieve this for me is to have calm and organized surroundings. I want to distill the things I have decided to keep and make space for them to be enjoyed properly. After that- yard sale?

The main floor and the second floor and my studio are all newly organized. I took apart all the loose photos and sorted them into appropriate boxes. The kitchen is now properly streamlined. Next stop: craft room and garden room in the basement and sewing room on the third floor.

that’s exactly what I need to do; get back on track.

- stop staying up so late
- start wake up earlier.

- stop eating so much junk food.
- start revaluating my food choices.

- stop spending so much time indoors.
- start running, working out, enjoying the outdoors.

- stop worrying, stressing, being uptight.
- start planning, organizing, letting loose.

- stop being lazy.
- START BEING ACTIVE!

I gotta get out of this slump, It’s just my nature. I’m a leo :)

My sister is planning one, so I am going to participate! So i must get going on this goal….weed through everything, put stuff aside to sell and organize the rest! :)

I started on the bedroom closet this past weekend…still so much to do, but at least I got the ball rolling! :)

• Need to go through the clothes (did the shoes already) and get rid of what i no longer want/wear.
• Buy another shoe rack
• Buy baskets for the top shelf to put purses in.

I hit the closet in the hall. Got a lot done in there! But of course not everything…oh well…I will get to it though. I found a box of ladybug stuff from my very first apartment….jeeze that was how many years ago??? Thats sad! But i guess i thought i’d use the stuff again…NOPE! Out it goes!! :)

I feel overwhelmed with all that I have to do. All of the homework, the projects, the activities. It’s all piling up, and I have not one ounce of organization in my veins. I always feel like I’m forgetting something or that I’m unprepared, but with organization maybe I’ll gain confidence and finally feel relaxed.

even though I listed this as a goal its something I have already started and the first step was getting rid of junk I dont use, it was very hard to first time….I come from a long line of packrats and especially since I make stuff with a lot of junk I am always worried I might need or want something later on for some crazy project, anyway every time after that was easier and easier but there is still more to be done!

Wish i could! But things need to go…..
So much stuff….i know i don’t need nor use half of it! Time to get moving and clean up….move stuff out….throw stuff out….donate…..

FireItUp gave me two wonderful Christmas presents: the new Jamie Oliver cookbook, and a set of black Bigso boxes to store and organise recipe clippings and ephemera.
I got rid of more costume jewelry and outdated clothes.
