I'd like to be perfect, but alas, I'm never going to make it. Only God is perfect, and he must laugh at me, trying to keep up with him!
Eleven days into 2005 the need to reform my life has hit me. When I got up this morning, I decided I would take one chore at a time and work my way through stuff that I hate to do.
I cleaned the kitchen, pulled together the ingredients for tonight's dinner salad, washed and chopped and diced and bagged it up, so that it would be crisp, and then did a gazillion loads of laundry. Usually the folding and putting away of laundry has to wait until the end of the day, but I got it done load by load. I tidied my room, made my bed, cleaned off the counter at the sink. I started beef vegetable soup in the Crockpot, and THEN.....I worked in the office for a while.
All of this came about because I was avoiding my time on the treadmill today. We returned to exercise yesterday, and I can feel EVERY muscle over my ribs, I swear! It was one of those....."Lord, please take me NOW" mornings. It won't keep me from going to exercise tomorrow, but I may wince a bit. Remind me not to take an entire month off next time.
I NEED to get my life organized. I find that I can't focus when there is a mess drawing my attention, so I'm trying to think of ways to eliminate clutter, organize media, and simplify my life. If you have something that works for you, let me know, won't you?

Hve you thought about Fylady? Her style doesn't suit everyone but I've found much of it very useful in my life, suitably adapted for the way I live. See http://www.flylady.net/

Have you thought about trying Flylady? Many have found her very helpful. Personally I've had to adapt what she says to suit my own lifestyle but that is what she advises. http://www.flylady.net/

i came across this one article looking for the title and artist of a song.. so i opened it up and it was something very appealing to me. it may not help particularly with ways to organize, though i think it would definitely simplify, and makes things a bit clearer to understand.. or in this article's case - to "feel". here it is.
