If you feel any of those three words (or all) then maybe you should step back and create a way to get more organized in your life and work at home practices! I am ready to get organized again and as I journey along I am going to blog about it, why? Well that’s what we do isn’t it? Share our personal trials & triumphs so that we can learn from each other.
To start I would like to tell you my mission to get less overworked, less overwhelmed and less exhausted! These are simply ideas of what I should start doing to get headed in the correct direction …
- Sort through inbox labels/folders to ensure garbage is deleted and items to be completed are in a to-do folder/label.
- Organize the file box to ensure all items kept are no longer than 1 year old. Shred the junk paper using a paper shredder to avoid identity theft and recycle or trash it.
- Sift through desk paperwork and be sure immediate to do items are in a folder above desk.
- Ensure all income and expenses have been accounted for in accounting program software.
From here all you can do is sit back and feel accomplished until my next blog post. Add a daily exercise routine to your schedule if you can, that will boost your spirits, I am unable to do so at this time, waiting to get to doctors for my leg issue!
Leave your ideas, tips and other notes below so we can help each other succeed in organizing our lives & business!
To be continued …

Your title for this post sums up how I feel!!! I am an organizer by nature, and what happens to me is that I take on too many work commitments/projects and end up with no time to do anything else. Then the paperwork builds up, and I feel totally lost and overwhelmed since I’m such a control freak about that kind of thing! Yesterday, I archived over 19,000 emails and had a blank inbox for the first time since 2008. Feels so good!!

My house has become very unorganized and it is driving me crazy! We have started going through closets and drawers and started reorganizing those.

I’m a pretty organized person…girl I replaced at work…not a chance!! It has taken me literally 3 weeks to organize each task that needs to be done and still not done.
But hey I did order an in box the other day!

I plan on going through one room at a time so that when it’s time for us to move again at the end of next school year, we’re more organized when we get to our new place.

We’ve been working on our house for the past week or so because every time we come home, we were just overwhelmed with clutter and disorder. We’re working hard everyday to just clear out all the junk, organize, and get the mounds of laundry washed! It will all be worth it!

This is so me. I have become so unorganized. I need to sit with my shredder and get rid of all those old papers. It’s hard to get any new papers organized when your filing cabinet is exploding with old papers.

Great Post and wonderful list. I am so not an organized person, but so desire to be. Im one of those people that attempt to be organized by writing out the lists and etc, but never stick with it!

These are great tips. Especially the one about the shredder. Right now, it’s my house that needs organization. I took the big step of designating a basket for the mail. Now we know where are bills are.

Thanks for the inspiration! I try to stay focused and organized, but I need to clone myself. Between the household stuff, my DH’s business, and my blog, it’s not easy!
