I am having to organize my time and papers lately. Reading about organizing gives me ideas that I can adapt to my life.

Organize drawers while watching tv is one that she had. I can organize drawers while I am on the phone. Just put it on speakerphone, and clean away!
Do you have favorite organizing tips?

This weekend, I am going to organize my time. First, I'll make a list of what I need to do. Then, I will write approximately how long each task will take. After that, the tasks will be scheduled into my days.
When you schedule a lot of work, always find time to do things that you enjoy. It's the difference between having a red-hot, successful day or burning out before you complete your tasks.

doing small stuff like drawers while watching tv is good idea. you could also organize your photos in your computer (move to sub folders, give better titles) while on the phone. organize your music downloads, ebook downloads, clean your spice containers, update your phone apps, wipe down your switch plates...any dumb little thing that could make your life nicer with zero effort.

Thank you.
I have been horribly unorganized from all the moving that i was doing over the last ten years. Now that I have my own home, i can finally make things the way I want them. I expect it will take years to get things sorted, but i have to remind myself that babysteps are better than no steps at all.

We are working on organizing our home, and as my husband says, "It's not perfect, but it's better. We'll take baby steps to get there."
What do you think...is it easier to get a lot accomplished when you are taking baby steps?

babysteps are the only ways i can get anything done. Otherwise everything seems too overwhelming. babysteps do eventually add up and get the job done!
