Getting Organized, Like Yesterday!

I'm not ashamed to admit it, but I'm not the most organized person.  There are some things that are organized enough to function at home and at work, but I waste a lot of mental energy not being organized and it frustrates me.  I've made claims of how I was going to follow this or that blog's system, but every time, I can't keep up and the vicious cycle starts all over again.  I would say blame it on my teacher hoarding parents (both of them) or a dad who kept or bought things that he never had because as 1 of 17 kids in a rural community, there just wasn't much to be had.  Or blame it on my librarian mother who has a knack for saving every obituary, every documentation of special events, who has collections of books in every single room except one bathroom.  Or you can just blame me.

I have plenty enough books and magazine clippings of how to get organized, but they weren't helpful.  Well this past weekend, I found, yes, another book on organization from Ollie's (a discount store) for $2.99.  It's an easy read and from the introduction I could feel that the author truly understood the madness behind being unorganized and it seemed as if she was talking directly to me and my needs.  And the thing I like most is that you don't have to follow her book in order.  You pick what you need and get it done.  So my equally unorganized friend both have a copy of the book and are working together to keep each other accountable.

So what is this book you wonder?
