Get organized

I really need to get more organized. Today I realized that both my passport and a trade industry ID card both expired last week. I filled out the paperwork but can’t send either in without new photos.

I cleaned my bathroom. It is not organized effectively so I know it will get messy again but at least its sanitary, lol! My bedroom is disorganized because I own more “stuff” then I have room for. I want to go through my closet and dresser and throw away clothes but there is a thought in the back of my head stopping me. See, one of my other goals on here is to lose 20 pounds and I feel like I night throw away a shirt that will look good on the me-minus-20-pounds body. Should I just chuck them anyway and restart my wardrobe when the time comes? Its a dilemma….

I have other junk that I need to get ride of. I have to huge bins of beanie babies. Do I throw those away? donate them? TRY to sell them? keep a few for the memory? how many? So, yea that is my start and I will work toward getting more organized a little more everyday.

Halloween, as fun as it was this year, has come and gone. It’s now nicely wrapped, labelled and shelved in the storage cupboard until next year. A $10 tote has taken care of everything, and I am feeling a lot better about the state of my storage!

i have a lot of my school books and folders in my trunk and they always get scattered everywhere. i need to buy bins to hold them in so they’re organized.

it’s hard being organized because i live with my boyfriend.. who sometimes isn’t! it’s hard not having my own space to try and keep clean, which can often times make it frustrating. but here’s what i accomplished so far:

i placed some dividers into my junk drawer to make it more neat.

i’m using a notebook to write thoughts from my mind into to help me think better.

woot :)

trying like hell! Emtied out old papers and not hording crap anymore.. trying to pay off these med bills! Im getting closer to my goals!

Well…I think I’m on my way to doing so. I finally went out and bought these under the bed storage boxes for my shoes only that it doesn’t fit under my bed lol. Either way i was able to fit a lot of my shoes in it and put the boxes in the spare bedroom leaving a lot more storage space in my closet for other clutter.

I AM STARTING BY ORGANIZING MY TIME….IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND NEVER GET THINGS DONE. CRAZY RIGHT

STEP 1 – ORGANIZING MY TIME….”PLAN YOUR WORK AND WORK YOUR PLAN”.....I AM MAKING A LIST OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE & JUST DOING IT WITHOUT SECOND GUESSING MYSELF.

it’s a complete mess :(

I decided to organize the fabric today while my husband is at the office. I dumped out three storage bins, three boxes and two huge Rubbermaid containers of fabric on the living room floor.

I suddenly realized that I had a lot of unfinished projects! I was able to fill one of the large containers with several quilts that were almost done and separated all the fabric. I am getting rid of quilt squares, fabric I won’t use and scraps that I don’t need. I found a lot of notions and cones of thread for my serger sewing machine.

I used four bins to separate the fabric: Christmas fabric and projects, children’s fabric, quilting projects and unfinished sewing projects. I discarded of projects that were too outdated to finish or were no longer my style.

I am also organizing the fabric upstairs and almost finished doing so. I think there may be several boxes of fabric in the rafters of our garage.

Now that I know where everything is, I want to start sewing again.
