I can't see over the mess!


All those resolutions to organize for the New Year are scary as heck. There’s a reason my life is a mess. This is nothing new. I’m not organized like all the other bloggers I’ve been reading.

I'm thinking about organizing
You can organize your office so you can lay your hand on any file in seconds. Big deal. I can’t, but if there’s one file I’m working with its right on top of the pile on my desk. Where I can find it in seconds.

How about organizing my kitchen? Like that’s going to happen any time soon. Have you seen my cabinets? My husband lives here with me and his storage method is totally different than mine. So who wins? I don’t know where he puts anything, but I can ask him.

I gave up on my clothes closet and bureau drawers. The things I like and wear regularly are on top or in the front. Not color coded or by season or by items. So it takes me a few minutes to find my sweater on an unseasonably cold day. So?

What’s the reason why my life is a mess? I’m focused on one thing. I keep my writing in a neat, organized corner where the world doesn’t intrude. All that other stuff isn’t important. My main focus, my obsession is so squeaky neat it can scare people who think I’m a ditz.


This is my traveling office
So keep all your ideas, suggestions, lists, methods, systems in your organized life.

Do you think I should change?



Here are all the places I can be found:
