Did you see 5 minutes for mom's article on Spotlight on Jessica? It is a great article and if you haven't read it head on over and check it out. Jessica from It's not about your stuff is going to be doing an monthy Ask the organizer on 5 minutes for mom. I went over to check out her site and found some wonderful resources on getting organized. Any one who knows me, knows I really need to get organized! From Jessica's site I went over to Neat Living and found a great list on "Understanding how clutter affects you. What an inspiration. I went and woke my husband up and said you gotta see this. I read both articles to him and we decided to have an organizational weekend.
First we tackled the garage. We have been meaning to do this for ages. Every once in a great, great while, we get to work on it together, but it is mostly me trying to organize everything. Well, with ADHD, you can imagine how well that went. We both went to work on it Saturday and we accomplished so much. Mostly what's left is several bags that are going to the twin sale and the local charity and a few mineral boxes of Tim's. Then Sunday we decided to clean the carpets in the family room, the hallway and the living room. Wow! Does it look great.
Then I decided to tackle my desk. I cleaned up one whole side of my desk, organized the piles of paper and it is now ready to be filed. Everything is broken up in very easy to manage piles.
I am very proud of myself. I was in an organizational mood and I got ALOT accomplished. This doesn't happen very often. I have some pictures to post, but I'm at work now. I'll post them later.
Have a great Tackle It Tuesday!
