I am not a naturally organized person. I often waste time looking for something because I failed to give it a designated spot and put it there. I admire people who are naturally organized but I guess I should be happy that I have a very creative side to my personality. Very creative minds seem to be unorganized minds. I am living proof of that fact.

So the kids start school next week and I am actually not all that stressed about it this year. I have been trying to keep on top of the laundry and dishes and that has made a world of difference. Those two chores are hard to get on top of when you get really behind so I am going to try and not let it get behind.

I am trying to organize my days better. I really need to get up earlier so I can be more productive sooner. I tried to do this last year but it didn’t last and then I went right back to my hectic life. Much of the time I look like a headless chicken, running around getting nothing done, but looking frantic and distressed.

I am learning that acquiring good habits takes a lot of discipline, which is another habit I lack in.  I have also learned that discipline requires action. As long as I keep moving toward the goal of living an organized life I will be improving my organization skills. So now that I have found my Living Organized book again I probably ought to start reading it again
