Getting Organized - Again!

I have to admit that my superior skills of disorganization have long been a bone of contention in our house. I’m a great one for the “file by pile” system, in which I know where everything is, of course. It only ever takes me an hour or two to find the piece of paper I’m looking for because I know exactly which pile I put it in! Of course, if you try to move my piles, or organize them for me you’re taking your life in your own hands.

So this morning I decided to finally clean up all the piles and reorganize my workspace. I’ve got a lot of writing to get done this month, and it’s not getting done because my workspace has been… well, too cluttered to even open a notebook on. And yeah, I do all my writing except for the odd tweet and blog post with pen and paper before I ever hit the keyboard.

I even took “before” pictures this time. I’m just not sure if I’m brave enough to post them and display my slobbishness (good word eh?) for the world (or the 2 people who read this blog) to see.

  1. Hi Ruthie,
    I so feel your pain! I’m in the process of reorganizing my office, some of my business strategies and processes.

    I’ll look forward to seeing how you do, and maybe get some valuable tips!

    Best wishes!

    Warmly,

    Cheryl

    Welcome back to the blog world. I understand the file by pile system very well as it is my favorite way to file.

    Hope you had a great summer with your golf and your reorganization goes as well as you would like.

    I have been posting more often since August but still getting behind on some of my blogs. (Oh…If I only had a brain) lol

    A computer crash at the office has kept me busy over the past month. I think we are almost all back together and caught up on missed work while it was down.

    Talk soon,

    Smiles :o)

    p.s. Only two people eh? lol
