Organizing…..

So my goal this year was to bring a little more harmony and organization into the chaos that I call "my life".  A few weeks ago I read this post on my friend Amy "Spunky Eclectic's" blog and I thought that I could use something like this to move closer to staying on top of things now that my free time is a lot more limited.

I've tried writing a creative journal in the past but after a few weeks it sat by the wayside for weeks on end because I couldn't figure out where I wanted it to go, which kind of defeats the purpose..ha!  So……

 after seeing Amy's bullet style organizer and visiting the Filofax website, I bit the bullet and hit the order button.  I also ordered different types of prompt inserts that I think I will make it easier for me to stay on track and fun to use.  These cute ones are designed by Natalie Rebecca Designs.  She has all different styles and designs that fit the various organizers that exist.

This binder is full of pockets to tuck things away in…I love it!  I use the little clear pocket to tuck time sensitive coupons in so that I remember to use them before they expire, especially the 50.00 ones I sometimes get from Pottery Barn.  I hate when they have expired and I didn't use them…sheesh!  Free money should always be used right?

So, I will be bringing this little organizer with me to work and it will be on my desk open when I am home.  I'm hoping that if I keep it with me in plain sight I will reach for it when I have a thought or remember something I need to do until it eventually becomes habit for keeping me a bit more organized.  We'll see….as Ken said when he saw it…" You certainly do TRY to be organized"..ha!
