Little Voices



And, the little voices have been yelling at me lately -"YOU NEED TO REORGANIZE!"

We've been talking about moving rooms around and just talking about it caused me to become more unorganized as the weeks went by. Before you knew it, I was overwhelmed with notes, clutter and whatever. You know I was actually feeling "anxious" as I became more and more buried in notes and not knowing what I wanted to do with the information and I think as a result of that my office was becoming cluttered too. Whew! I needed to tackle this before it got out of hand.

And, after this weekend I'm happy to say my office has been moved to a bigger room. I cleaned out old files and "stuff" that just wasn't needed anymore. I feel renewed!

Unfortunately, I now have 2 more rooms to get in order after the office move. But you know it's a great way to clean out that stuff that just accumulates and you wonder why you were saving it in the first place.

So I feel renewed and glad those little voices were telling me to change things up a bit. I have a new spacious office and ready to move on to the next rooms.

Do you do whatever little voices tell you to do?

Finding Me

The older you get, the more you have going on in your life. I thought life was supposed to slow down? Years ago I took pride in my organization skills. When I worked in the corporate world my daily calendar was always full, but I always managed to check off what I wanted to accomplish for the day. I had a PDA that I carried around like a life line. Today, I still make those lists, and instead of the PDA I have a small calendar in my purse. But I keep pushing many of those tasks that I want to accomplish to the next day and then the next. Why is that? And everytime I find something new I want to learn to help my business it goes in a labeled folder (which at the time I think this is genius). But soon I have so many folders and so many stacks of notes that I become overwhelmed. My To Do list becomes longer because I can't finish each days To Do list.

My son took this picture a few years back and I have always found humor in it even though it looks like they just had bad news. The humor is this, they have so much to do that they don't know where to go or what to do. The first white haired lady in the blue sweater is trying to remember if she mailed that birthday card to her grandson. The gray haired lady leaning forward just realized she forgot to pick up her grandson and the lady next to her is wondering when will she ever remember where her grandson lives. Is is old age, or is it not being organized?





I just want to get off this merry-go-round and maybe start over. But where? I recently found a report by Axel Meierhoefer that discusses the value of being organized. You can get the report yourself at http://1sandib.pohmii.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=Axel76gl
In this report I found out what type of organizer I currently am and what I can do to be better organized. If you are having trouble organizing your life check out this FREE report. It helped me recognize what type of an organizer I am and how I can improve my organization skills.
