Google tasks... 1 week ago

...have been quite helpful in organizing and prioritizing what I need to get done each day. But I still tend to postpone a lot of things (even for weeks). Need to fight laziness better.

Clothes purging... 4 weeks ago
  1. I got rid of a bunch of stuff
  2. I won’t buy anything unless I LOVE IT and I NEED IT
  3. Everything fits in my closet and dresser with a few spare hangers
  4. I have a list of items I need to keep an eye out of future “replacements” – less than 10 items total

I feel like step #1 is complete!

On to Step #2 – Accessories

Today I woke up late because I was sick yesterday but I still managed to do somethings. I can do better tommorow!



I Lose Everything.... 4 weeks ago

I keep losing things. Very important things. Most recently it was my wallet. If you have ever lost your wallet you know it is a horrible feeling. So in the midst of this wallet business I attempted to go through my desk looking for important documentation that was needed to sort out this mess. It took me forever and for the most part I came up empty handed. This needs to be more than some deep cleaning and purging, I need to make a few lifestyle changes.
To be more organized I will try and take these steps everyday:

Throw things away.
Have a place for everything.
Put things away after I am done with them (huge for me)
Stop stacking things on top of things in corners.
Make a to do list.
Maybe write things down in that fancy agenda I bought.



Life would be so much easier if I was organized 4 weeks ago

If i was organized I would have better grades and I wouldn’t stress our so much. I could finish things faster. I think I should wake up early the same time everyday and have a schedule and a notebook or something in my computer telling what I need to do everyday.

Going paperless is just part of my being more organized.



baby steps 2 months ago

I really want to feel comfortable when I walk into my bedroom. In order to do this, I need to reorganize my closet so that it holds two dowel rods for hanging, not just one. I also need to get a tall hamper with a cover so my dog doesn’t keep taking all my dirty clothes. Finally, I need one more dresser so that I have room for things. One small dresser isn’t doing it.

Things I already did to improve on this:
Bought a rotating shoe rack that holds all my shoes off the ground.
Got an organizer for my earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.
Got rid of some clothes and old jewelry.
