I’ve been reading on various blogs recently about home organization, and I have to tell you that I’m not the most organized person in the world. In fact, I would title my condition “Extremely Disorganized With Good Intentions.” I really want to be organized, I just have not found the right system to do it yet. And believe me, I’ve tried!
Late last year I bought a small calendar, thinking I’d carry it in my purse. It sits on the desk in the office, rarely opened. I also bought a weekly calendar to put on the refrigerator. It’s there, but we don’t use it much. I also received as a gift a weekly menu planner to put on the refrigerator. I am proud to say that I actually use this! It took me a while, but I have a menu planning system down, which is one step in the right direction.
After reading about different home journal options, I am challenging myself to get organized this month. The way I see it, I already have about 2 extra hours every week this month since I’m not spending much time planning our grocery trips. So this time will be devoted to the seemingly impossible: getting our home organized and running like a well oiled machine. Cliché? Probably. Necessary? Absolutely!
