I have been trying to get organized for a very long time {read: years}. I love organization. I love reading blogs and books about being organized.
Am I strange? Absolutely, though you didn't really need this post to tell you that.
Anyway, it's on my list. And I need to get started.
Like I said, I have tried for a very long time to get everything from my life to my work to my home organized. I left number 32 vague on purpose, because I want to get as organized as possible.
Usually, however, I just go. I don't make a plan. I don't really research. I just start creating a notebook or Google Site.
This time, I'm going to prepare. And this time, I have my blog. I don't want to start just another personal organization blog. I do, however, want to share how a normal person like myself gets organized.
So, here are the areas in my life that I need/want to organize:
Recipes and menu planning
Coupons and grocery shopping {look for another blog post about this soon}
Finances and bills
Cleaning schedule and household chores
Calendar and schedule
To-dos and errands
Goals {both short term and long term}
My blog
My business
Birthdays and other events
Miscellaneous personal things {i.e. prescriptions, diet, etc.}
Sounds random? It is. I have absolutely no idea where to start. But I do know that I want to be as streamlined as possible. I want to use the right tools, whether it's a physical notebook for some things {I like my handwriting too much to do everything on the computer} or syncing my iPhone with Google. And I want to be efficient.
The point of this post? I want to know your secrets. How do you stay organized? What is the best tip you can give me? Are there any resources that you recommend?
I NEED HELP PEOPLE.
Thanks :)
