 Are you
feeling overwhelmed, tired and
discouraged?
Does the phrase "I've really got to get organized" sound
familiar?
If you're like most people, you've uttered this phrase more
than once. How many times have you said, "I really have to get
organized?" This thought usually occurs
when you are hunting everywhere for your keys, or you get a bill in the
mail that's overdue and you thought you paid it already. (Time goes so
fast.) Sure,
you've tried to apply the techniques of how to get organized, but
somehow it just isn't working for you. How about the planner idea? Wow,
that was a good one....until you had so many notebooks, calendars and
planners going you couldn't remember where you wrote what!
Most
of us would like to live in uncluttered
surroundings and we'd love to have better control of our time.
But, most often, no matter what we do, there just aren't enough
hours in the day and although we try, we can't seem to stay
organized.
Well I'm here to tell you, if I can get organized, anyone can
get organized. I've read all the books, tried all the methods and
figured out a style that works for me.
Once I admitted that I couldn't make change happen just by
reading and thinking about it, I realized I actually had to get
off my butt and do something. I got started and made many
positive changes in my life. It really was worth it. You can do
it too.
Tired of losing things? How much time do you waste looking
for misplaced items?
 If you've ever had to
hunt for your car keys, you
know how frustrating that can be. You might speed through traffic
just to make up lost time but you're usually late for
appointments anyway. When you do arrive, you are likely
flustered and embarrassed. (Especially if you got a speeding
ticket.)
It just isn't worth it, a little bit of decluttering and
advance
planning can put an end to these sort of problems. Find tips to
help you manage time and space more effectively on the Tips

Is the cat eating salmon for dinner instead of the cat food
you forgot to buy?
Ah shopping, I hate it, so many decisions to make. Yes, I
admit there have been salmon and tuna dinners for the cats here
due to the fact that I 'forgot' to buy cat food. I can't tell you
how much it hurt to open a $3 can of salmon and put it in the cat
dishes.
I used to be a 'Super Shopper' when I had all the kids at
home. I
got lazy when I started working full time and there was just
cooking for two.
I stopped shopping regularly and quit stocking up. I often
stopped on my way home from work to pick up dinner instead of
planning meals and cooking each day. I didn't worry too much
about cost, I was just happy to get it over with.
I came back to earth when I took early retirement. Now I'm
pretty
much back to the 'Super' status as I really shop carefully. I
can't afford to shop from day-to-day, there are too many other
things to spend my time on. :)
